Foreword EHF President

WE ARE Dear handball friends,

We are delighted to welcome you to the last stop on the road to the EHF FINAL4: the EHF Champions A TEAM FOR League Men 2020/21 quarter-finals. What a season it has been so far! We saw 16 teams giving it their all in a thrilling group phase, fighting until the last round in order to improve their ranking ahead of the knockout phase. The play-offs followed with eight intriguing ties, as the quarter-final line-up took shape. EUROPE So, here we are! And while we lost two recent EHF Champions League winners in the play-offs – Lomza Vive Kielce and HC Vardar 1961 – it is fair to say that we have a stunning quarter-final schedule ahead of us, with the first legs scheduled for 12/13 May and the all-decisive return legs for 19/20 May.

Germany and France still have two teams each in the mix, and at least one of those four teams will make it to the EHF FINAL4 on 12/13 June as title holders THW Kiel and Paris Saint-Germain Handball will square off in a mouth-watering quarter-final clash, less than five months after both teams competed at the EHF FINAL4 2020 in December.

The other German contenders, SG Flensburg-Handewitt, open their quarter-final adventure with a trip to Denmark to face Aalborg Håndbold.

The other French side still in the race for the title, HBC Nantes, eliminated Kielce in the play-offs and now face another huge challenge, set to take on Telekom Veszprém HC.

The fourth quarter-final sees HC Meshkov Brest, who are debutants in this stage of the EHF Champions League, trying to stop the immaculate run of Barça, who have won all their matches so far this season and are eager to return to the EHF FINAL4, just a few months after they came up short to Kiel in the Nord Stream 2 is a European project that 2020 final. contributes to a secure energy supply for all European countries.
