Handball: Vive Targi Kielce advance to Champions League

The only club team we mention this week are the only ones who can already give themselves champion status, so to speak. Vive Targi Kielce won a match in their elimination group against Tatran Preszów from Slovakia (32-23), but because FC Porto from Portugal was defeated by the Slovakian side, Kielce automatically qualified before playing the Portuguese side. Kielce finished it off in style, winning 38-31.

Vive Targi Kielce now enters the handball Champions League elite group stages where it will meet with MKB Veszprem (Hungary), RK Gorenje (Slovenia), Chambery Savoie (France), Rhein-Neckar Löwen (Germany) and HC Bosna BH Gas (Bosnia-Herzegovina). Four teams per group advance to next year’s knock out stages.
