Summary - VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12 Group Phase Since September 2011, 120 games of the Group Phase have been played and now 16 of 24 teams of the VELUX EHF Champions League have made their way to the knock-out stage the Last 16. All four groups in the Group Phase were close and full of tension proving again that the VELUX EHF Champions League is the leading club handball competition in the world. Today EHF President Tor Lian and EHF Secretary General Michael Wiederer will draw the matches for the Last 16. The first leg of the Last 16 will be played 14-18 March 2012, whilst the second leg matches will take place from 21-25 March 2012. The Last 16 is then followed by the Quarter-Finals in April and the spectacular finish with the VELUX EHF FINAL4 in Cologne (26-27 May), which will be attended by 40,000 spectators in the LANXESS arena. 24 teams from 15 European nations started the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12 Group Phase at the end of September 2011 with some surprises and sensations after 10 rounds and 120 matches. Participants of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 2009/10, Russian Champions Chekhovskie Medvedi, were eliminated in the so-called Group of Death (Group B), French league runners-up Chambery Savoie were eliminated from Group A, whilst one of the top contenders for the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12 title, MAHB Montpellier, finished only fourth in Group D. In contrast to these shocks, two of the four teams from the Qualifying Tournaments made their way to the Last 16; Wild Card Tournament winners Vive Targi Kielce (Poland) and Qualifying Tournament Group 2 winners IK Sävehof (Sweden). Also, two debutants are among those to reach the Last 16 with AG Kobenhavn (Denmark) and Füchse Berlin (Germany) battling it out for honours. German side HSV Hamburg were the first team to qualify for the Last 16 and were also the first to win their group. In the end the German champions were the only unbeaten team in the VELUX EHF Champions League Group Phase, finishing with 19 out of a 20 possible points. Defending VELUX EHF Champions League champions FC Barcelona Intersport (formerly FC Barcelona Borges), their Spanish counterparts Atletico Madrid (former BM Ciudad Real) and VELUX EHF Champions League 2010 winners THW Kiel lost only one of their 10 matches, topping their groups in the process. The closeness of the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12 Group Phase was shown by the fact that five of the Last 16 participants were decided in the final round of matches in the Group Phase. The last team to qualify were Polish champions Orlen Wisla Plock after winning their Group C duel at St. Petersburg on Sunday (26 February). Group B ended in particularly thrilling circumstances four teams fought for the three open places in the Last 16 in the final matches, with two of the decisive matches ending with a one goal margin victory and one with a draw. The variety of those 16 teams qualified for the Last 16 is huge. Even though all three Spanish and German teams have made their way to the knockout stage, clubs from 11 countries will be fighting for
the qualification through to the Quarter-Finals in the two-legged matches on their way to the final destination of Cologne and only eight of them were part of last season s Last 16.

After their away victory at Chekhovskie the Poles were on track and after winning in Veszprem their hopes were high to progress through to the Last 16 for the second time after 2010 with their draw against Medvedi enough to go through.

Metalurg had the strongest defence of all teams including their extraordinary goalkeeper Darko Stanic. Beating Koper in the first match was the start of a successful series only interrupted by a draw at St. Petersburg and a surprising defeat at Constanta. But at home the Macedonians were a real powerhouse. Even against Hamburg they were close to the points, but the close defeat in Round 10 meant they missed out on second place, finishing third overall.

Participations (including 2011/2012 season): 6 Last 16 (1): 2010/2011 Group Phase (3): 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007/2008 Qualification (1): 2009/2010 Swiss champion: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011 Swiss Cup winner: 1999, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011 Montpellier Agglomeration HB (FRA) Coach: Patrice Canayer, since 1994 Key Players: Nikola Karabatic, Vid Kavticnik Qualification for the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12: French Champion Qualification for the Last 16: fourth placed in Group D The road to the Last 16: Rank four was much less than expected for the French champions but especially their two home defeats against Kiel and Kobenhavn and losing at Szeged and Leon were the reasons for this uncomfortable position of one of the biggest contenders for the VELUX EHF FINAL4 2011/12. Even the surprising victory at Kiel at the start of the competition could not bring more stability to Karabatic and his side.
Participations (including 2011/2012 season): 14 Winner (1): 2002/2003 Semi-Final (1): 2004/2005 Quarter-Final (4): 2000/2001, 2005/2006, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 Last 16 (3): 1995/1996, 2003/2004, 2006/2007 Main Round (2): 2007/2008, 2008/2009 Group Phase (2): 1998/1999, 1999/2000 French Champion: 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 French Cup winner: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 Füchse Berlin (GER) Coach: Dagur Sigurdsson, since 2009 Key Players: Iker Romero, Silvio Heinevetter Qualification for the VELUX EHF Champions League 2011/12: Third placed in Germany Qualification for Last 16: Fourth placed in Group B The road to the Last 16: Beating Bjerringbro in their final encounter - a real thriller - brought the decisive points for the Foxes of Berlin, who qualified for the VELUX EHF Champions League for the first time. The Germans showed some surprising results like an opening draw at Medvedi and a victory at Veszprem, but in the tight Group B they had a nervous wait until the end to reach their minimum objective qualification through to the Last 16.

The road to the Last 16: Another long and winding road to the knock-out stage, but 16 years after the Oilers had been among the top 16 for the last time they managed the qualification for the Last 16 by a final clear victory at St. Petersburg. Coach Lars Walther had led his team to the Polish championship, which meant the direct qualification for the VELUX EHF Champions League and after a good start with four points from their first three games Plock were in a good position to qualify through to the Last 16. However, losing some key games such as at home against Metalurg meant that the final decision needed to be made in the last round of Group C matches.

About the VELUX EHF FINAL4 The VELUX EHF FINAL4 is the culmination of the European club handball season. The two-day event sees four matches in one venue to decide the winners of the VELUX EHF Champions League title. Introduced in the 2009/10 season and to be played until at least 2014 in the LANXESS arena, Cologne, the decision to create a new format for the final phase of the VELUX EHF Champions League was seen as crucial for the growth of handball across Europe. The aim was to create a flagship event, one that could compete on the international sports market and make the Europe s leading club competition even more attractive to fans, partners and sponsors. The success of the first two editions of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 showed that this new format was the right strategy. It has set new standards in organisation and entertainment: it is not just four games played over two days but a true entertainment event. The engagement of a top international act such as EUROPE is a sign too of the direction the event is taking. Almost 20,000 people from 30 countries will travel to Cologne in May 2012 for the third edition of the event. In 2011, tickets were sold out weeks before the four participating teams were known, and the total number of 19,750 spectators was a new record in European club competitions. This year, the organisers are facing even an increase in ticket sales. Full information at: www.ehffinal4.com.
