A huge handball cup night!

A major upset in the Norwegian Cup semi-finals as Bergen travelled to Kolstad and came away with a victory! A disastrous result for Kolstad. Bergen reach the cup final for the first time since 2015!

In Denmark, Mors-Thy pulled off the upset in Aarhus against Danish runners-up SAH, scoring a Kempa goal in the final second to seal the win!

Meanwhile, Danish champions Aalborg, without Knorr and Arnoldsen, beat Sønderjyske away from home in a low-scoring encounter. Sønderjyske were also severely affected by injuries, and Niklas Landin proved decisive. It was Sønderjyske’s first defeat after seven consecutive wins.

Mors-Thy and Aalborg are through to the Final4.

In Germany, the drama continued in the round of 16, with several close encounters. Kiel eventually came away with a hard-fought win in Lemgo, where Wolff was absolutely outstanding, particularly in the closing stages. Göppingen also had to work hard for their victory in Balingen.

Magdeburg, Erlangen and Berlin, on the other hand, all secured the expected comfortable wins.

Raul González is no longer the head coach of RK Partizan!

Following today’s resignation of club president Miljan Žugić, González has decided to terminate his contract with the Serbian club amid the current uncertainty surrounding the board.

The Spaniard, who joined Partizan last summer and led the team in the EHF Champions League, will be replaced by his former assistant Marko Pavlović, who will take charge until the end of the season.

It will be interesting to see what impact this has on the ambitious Serbian project.

Sensational result in the EHF EURO qualifiers as Israel, following a narrow defeat to Czechia in midweek, beat Slovenia 31–28 in Celje!

A phenomenal performance from Mosindi, Lumbroso, Dayan, Tepper and co. - one that potentially could be enough to send Israel to only their only second championship in history, following EURO 2002 in Sweden!

Tomorrow, the final qualifying round for European Championship 2028 in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland gets underway. And there are plenty of interesting groups and match-ups to look forward to!

There are eight groups of four teams, with the top two from each group and the four best third-placed teams (which will be determined taking into account only results against top two teams in each group) qualifying for the final tournament.

Group 1: Croatia are clear favourites, while the Netherlands will also be expecting to progress. However, Lithuania have proven on several occasions that they are far from a walkover

Group 2: I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one upset in this group featuring Norway, Austria, Georgia and Türkiye. Nevertheless, Norway and Austria must be considered favourites to make it through

Group 3: I find it difficult to see either Ukraine or Estonia seriously challenging Iceland or Serbia

Group 4: A very tough group featuring four teams with very strong home records: Hungary, the Faroe Islands, Montenegro and Kosovo

Group 5: Three teams with plenty of experience at major tournaments: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czechia and Slovenia. Alongside them is an Israeli team on the rise, with several exciting young players

Group 6: It will be interesting to see France under the leadership of Dujshebaev. Poland and Romania are still searching for their former strength.

Group 7: Two clear favourites to qualify in Germany and Italy. Belgium and Slovakia face an extremely tough task

Group 8: Two match-ups where much more than just two points will be at stake. Greece against North Macedonia is always something special, and all signs point towards the two sides battling it out for second place behind Sweden
