The top female players in handball have been honoured in a glitzy EHF Excellence Awards Gala in Vienna on Monday evening, with 10 players being on the recipient list of awards for their excellent performances throughout the last season, both at the club and at the national team level.

After the shortlist containing seven players for every position was released, a transparent voting process ensued, with players, coaches and selected media as well as fans being eligible to participate in the voting once the shortlist became available on eurohandball.com, with each group’s votes accounting for 25% of the overall result for every position.
