Füchse Berlin
Dear Handball Friends, Welcome to the quarter-final stage of the VELUX EHF Champions League. I would like to congratulate all eight teams on making it this far in Europe’s premier men’s club handball competition – it really is quite some achievement! This season we see the traditional powerhouses of men’s handball, including the last two seasons’ champions FC Barcelona Intersport and THW Kiel, joined in the quarter-finals by some new faces. Füchse Berlin and AG Kobenhavn are playing their very first season in the competition and RK Cimos Koper are in the quarter-finals of the VELUX EHF Champions League for the first time in their club’s history. There is a new development too in the quarter-finals, as AG Kobenhavn take on FC Barcelona Intersport, in the Parken football stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark. With 22,000 fans expected, this event looks set to break all spectator records and has already attracted tremendous interest from fans and TV stations around the world. I am sure that the hearts and minds of all players and coaches are firmly set on winning a place in the VELUX EHF FINAL4 in the LANXESS arena, Cologne on 26 and 27 May 2012. They are now just two games away from making this dream a reality. Whatever the results there will be tears, some of joy and some of sadness, but the games will be the very best of the sport we all love. Enjoy watching top-class handball and good luck to all those taking part! Tor Lian EHF President EHF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT Dear Media Representative, The teams are now within touching distance of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 which takes place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May 2012 at the LANXESS arena, Cologne, Germany.
