HP EHF CL 2023/2024 LINE-UP CHOICE: Chance for Kolstad, Aalborg, Pick Szeged, Montpellier…
Two days left until EHF decision about the teams who will get wild-card for the Men’s EHF Champions League 2023/2024.
Ten teams applied for six places and it will be very interesting to see how EHF will deal with the strong names which can stay IN or OUT of the elite handball competition in the upcoming season.
Handball-Planet.com was interested in making a possible line-up according to the voting of our team members – group of journalists and handball experts.
National vice-champions Montpellier, Pick Szeged, Aalborg Handbold, newcomers Kolstad Handball from Norway, Orlen Wisla Plock and CS Dinamo Bucharest should get wild-card for the season 2023/2024.
The biggest question was between Dinamo Bucharest and RK PPD Zagreb, two teams with big history, very dominant in national championships.
However, decision will be taken by EHF on June 21. Draw for the upcoming season is on June 27.
