With the qualification tournaments for this season’s group matches just around the corner, let’s take a look back at last season’s final. In a thrilling final Győri Audi ETO KC beat Larvik HK over two hotly contested matches. These encounters once more highlighted the terrific level women’s handball has reached. In recent years the Women’s EHF Champions League has made significant steps forward. In 2012 the European Handball Federation established the Women’s Handball Board and employed former top class player Alenka Cuderman as the women’s handball coordinator. New projects have already been launched and the EHF will not stop working on the continuous further development of women’s handball. In the qualification 16 teams are now vying for a spot in the EHF Champions League and with household names such as HC Leipzig, FTC Rail Cargo Hungária and Viborg HK among them, I am confident that the competition will be off to a great start and an even greater finish can be expected when the final is played in May 2014. 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 coming season!
