Foreword EHF President NR. NAVN: Dear handball friends, 1 Kasper Larsen It gives me great pleasure to welcome you back for the resumption of the EHF Champions League Men. In the two months since our last action, the handball 2elite haveAugust been competing Pedersen in the World Championship in Egypt and those on duty for their national teams now return to focus on Europe’s top-flight. 4 Klaus Thomsen

The performances in Egypt once again reminded us just how 7strong EuropeanNikolaj teams Øris are onNielsen the world stage and my congratulations go to champions Denmark on securing back-to-back titles. Together with runners-up Sweden and Spain, who finished in third, there9 wereJacob 27 players Lassen at EHF Champions League clubs who medalled in Egypt whose aim now is to make it a year to remember by finishing with an EHF Champions League medal. 10 Johan Hansen From the first ball, group A has been dominated by two 11sides whoSebastian are only separated Skube by goal difference at the top. Łomża Vive Kielce and SG Flensburg-Handewitt have enjoyed a fine campaign to date and are closing in on a place in the quarter-finals, having won six of their eight matches so far.

With every team’s goal to reach Cologne, it would be remiss77 of me Michaelnot to highlight Knudsen another team in group B: THW Kiel. Although their results in the 2020/21 season have been mixed, the German outfit were crowned winners of the 2020 season in a memorable VELUX EHF FINAL4 2020 in December. Filip Jicha’s side were the toast of Europe after two epic performances in Cologne and my congratulations go to all concerned at the Wunderino Arena. Of course, it was both unfortunate and sad that such an achievement was not witnessed by spectators inside a full LANXESS arena but, in these uncertain times, it was uplifting to see so many supporters across the world tuning into watch each match.

In these Covid-19 dominated days, we have done our utmost to ensure the welfare of the teams with the implementation of a strict and detailed hygiene concept. It has helped us ensure a safe the return of top-flight handball to arenas across Europe and hopefully soon we will be able to see the return of Observatør:you, the fans, Bjarne who are Munk the heartbeat Jensen of handball. Dommere: Henrik Mortensen & Jesper Kirkholm Madsen So, as the pace on the road to Cologne and the EHF FINAL4 on 12/13 June 2021 increases, I wish all teams a safe and happy return to action and wish you all the very best of luck on your EHF Champions League Men journey.
