DELO EHF FINAL4 lineup confirmed

With less than seven weeks to go until the DELO EHF FINAL4 in Budapest, the four participants were confirmed with the completion of the quarter-final last weekend.

The quartet makes for an interesting blend, including two debutants (Brest and CSKA), one team competing for only the second time (Vipers), and the team that have dominated the competition in recent years (Györ).

CSKA, playing in their first EHF Champions League season, came back from a five-goal defeat in the first leg to eliminate CSM Bucuresti on away goals, 51:51.

Brest came victorious out of the all-French clash with Metz Handball, 60:50, following their decisive 10-goal win in the first leg.

Vipers also did the job in the first leg, as they defeated 2019 finalists Rostov-Don by seven goals in the first part of their double-header in Russia and maintained that difference in the second leg, 57:50.

And Györ were the only team to win both legs of the quarter-final, as they defeated Buducnost 54:40 on aggregate to book their place at the pinnacle event for their fifth participation in a total of six EHF FINAL4 events.
