Fradi can make history in the women’s handball Champions League this weekend
The Hungarian teams can make history in the women’s handball Champions League, as FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria can also advance from the group, after Audi ETO KC Győr and DVSC Schaeffler, who are already group leaders. If this were to succeed, all three Hungarian participants would be among the top 12 in the Champions League. Of course, since there have never been three Hungarian starters in the BL, this has never happened before. The green and whites will play against Metz on Saturday, and if they can win, they will secure the promotion, if not, the Danes will have to be cheered on in the Rapid Bucharest – Essbjerg match. It won’t be easy for Fradi, as Metz is currently leading their group, but it was already clear last season that it is not impossible for Katrine Klujber. Of course, one more group match awaits Győr and DVSC.
