Media informationDear Media Representative,

Welcome to the final of the Women’s EHF last season in the old format. Before the 2016/17 season the Cup Winners’s Cup will merge with the Women’s EHF Cup into one competition - the new Women’s EHF Cup. Just like in the men’s version of the EHF Cup, the new competition will also include the group phase preceded by qualification rounds and followed by quarter-finals. The semi-finals and the final will be played either in a home and away games format or in a final tournament in one venue, if there will be an attractive concept presented to the EHF.

In the following media information you will find the essential facts you will require for the final two games and the participating teams. Additional information can be found on the eurohandball.com website.

Important regulationsScoring of the matches in the final

If, after completion of the two matches, both clubs have won the same number of points (no extra time will be played), the teams’ standings shall be determined by the following criteria:

a) goal difference b) higher number of plus goals scored in away match c) penalty throws

Rules for execution of penalty throws• Prior to the penalty throws, each team shall name five players eligible to play at the end of the match by handing the referees a list of numbers. These players shall then take one throw each, alternating with their opponents. Each team is free to determine the sequence in which throwers will take their throws.• The goalkeepers may be freely selected from the match report and exchanged in accordance with the Rules of the Game. Goalkeepers may take throws and throwers may perform as goalkeepers.• The referees shall choose the goal at which throws are taken. The team taking the first penalty throw shall be determined by the referees by drawing lots. The team winning the draw may choose whether it wishes to throw first or last.

• If the scores are equal after the first round of penalty throws, it shall be continued until a decision is reached. In the second round, the other team shall start. Again five players shall be named who are eligible to play (the players named before may be named once again).• In the second round, a decision is reached when a goal difference arises after both teams have taken one throw each. • Eligible players are players entered in the match report that have not been disqualified or suspended at the time of the final whistle.• Serious infractions committed during penalty throws shall be sanctioned by disqualification. If a thrower is disqualified or suffers an injury, an eligible substitute player shall be supplementary named.• While the throws are being taken, only the player taking the throw, the current goalkeeper and the referees may enter the respective half of the playing court.• If the number of eligible players falls below five, players may be named to take a second throw in the same round.

Preview

The first European cup season has been a bit of an adventure for TuS Metzingen’s ‘Pink Ladies’. The German team, who have only played in the Bundesliga for four years, made it all the way to the EHF Cup Final in their first attempt in the competition.

The situation is different for their Hungarian adversaries. Dunaujvaros have a long and proud history in European handball behind them, which includes their so-far greatest achievement: winning the Women’s EHF Champions League in the 1998/99 season. The Champions League victory came the year after they won the EHF Cup for the first and only time so far, in 1998.

There is no doubt that Dunaujvaros and their experienced head coach Zdravko Zovko will be keen on winning their first European title in 17 years when they enter Paul Horn Arena in Tübingen for the first leg on Saturday night.

For Metzingen, it will not only be about winning their first European title ever, but also about their chance to become the first German women’s team to win a European cup tournament since Buxtehude won the Challenge Cup in the 2009/10 season.

“We still have the fate of winning two trophies in our own hands,” said Metzingen manager Ferenc Rott, referring to the fact that the team have the chance to become German champions for the first time in history as well.

However, Metzingen will be handicapped in both legs of the final as line player Julia Behnke is sidelined for the season with a torn ligament in her left knee.
