September 2014 saw the conclusion of Qualification Phase, which completed the line-up for the Group Matches of the 2014/15 WOMEN’S EHF Champions League. HC Leipzig of Germany and HC Podravka Vegeta of Croatia were the last two teams to complete groups A and B respectively. From 17 October to 23 November 2014, the six rounds of the Group Matches will play out in venues across Europe. I take this opportunity to welcome sixteen teams from 14 countries to the second phase of the competition and to congratulate them for having successfully earned their place in the 22nd season of this elite women’s handball club competition. As we move into the next exciting phase of the competition, the teams have a lot to play for. The sixteen teams now embark on their campaign to progress to the Main Round. A ticket to the Main Round will bring twelve teams closer to their dream of participating in the WOMEN’S EHF FINAL4; however, for the four teams that are ranked fourth on 23 November 2014, their campaign will end. With the wealth of experience across the four groups, we know that there is enough skill to take each team to the next round, but much will still depend on determination and luck; and as the teams take to the court, only they can decide how the matches will end. 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!
