As the competition grows increasingly popular among the handball fans of Europe, we look forward to our continued and growing cooperation with you, media representatives. Germany and Spain lead the way with three teams each still in the competition. Denmark and Hungary follow closely with two teams each remaining. Croatia, Romania, Poland, Portugal and FYR Macedonia and Switzerland are pinning their hopes on their solo teams. The group phase features 16 clubs from 10 nations with a raft of interesting teams such as last season’s finalists Füchse Berlin and Saint-Raphael Var, FC Porto and three- time EHF Champions League winners THW Kiel, who will host the EHF Cup Finals on 17/18 May. The new batch of social media channels will provide fans with near-live clips and compilations of the best moments from the Men’s EHF Cup, alongside the latest news and features from both EHF Cup and Challenge Cup competitions. The increased interest in the EHF’s second tier competition is also reflected in international television coverage, with 15 partners set to broadcast to over 20 territories, while ehfTV.com will broadcast worldwide. The stage is set for six weeks of group phase action and the battle to take a step closer to the Men’s EHF Cup Finals in Kiel, Germany. This season’s competition is the penultimate in the current format, before the EHF club competition reform, which will see this competition turn into the European Handball League with 24 teams from the 2020/21 season onwards We pride ourselves on our positive and cooperative relationship with the press and media and I am sure this will continue and develop in the future. Should you require any information, help or assistance during the course of the season, your first point of contact is the EHF Media and Communications Department based in our office in Vienna. They will be more than happy to assist you with any questions you might have. We look forward to working with you in the upcoming season!
