Return of the Raphaelle Tervel

Former French national team and Györ player Raphaelle Tervel was back on the squad list after retiring in 2014. A versatile player who has been an assistant coach in Györ returned to the green jersey to help her team. Tervel won the EHF Champions League with Györ in 2013 and 2014 and started her coaching career in Besancon Feminin after retirement. She joined Györ's coaching staff in the summer of 2022 and made history in round 7 as she was greeted by the fans in the Arena, wearing number 20 on her back. Even though she did not score, it was nice to see her on the court again.
