Moreover, fans are invited to follow and interact with the event's live blog, which will be launched on Saturday on www.eurohandball.com.

Four great teams and plethora of stars

Only big names of continental handball have made it all the way to the final tournament in the Max-Schmeling-Halle as all four teams are regulars in the European top flight – the VELUX EHF Champions League. The event's hosts Füchse Berlin were the part of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 in 2012 and are reigning winners of the German Cup. In the semi-final they face Pick Szeged, the Hungarian handball stronghold led by Juan Pastor, who steered Spain to the World Championship title in 2005.

The traditional French powerhouse Montpellier Agglomeration HB won the EHF Champions League in 2003 and are highly touted favourites in Berlin. However, they cannot afford to underestimate the perennial champions of Romania, HCM Constanta.

The player lists of these four teams feature an abundance of stars, including arguably the most decorated player in the history of handball Thierry Omeyer, former Champions League winners Iker Romero and Konstantin Igropulo as well as iconic goalkeeper Silvio Heinevetter.
