Győri Audi ETO KC faces reported financial difficulties

The Győri Audi ETO KC women's handball club is reportedly facing significant financial challenges, according to reports from Danish broadcaster TV2. The club may consider reducing player salaries by as much as half and could see key personnel depart the team.

In response to these reports, the club issued a written statement emphasizing that agreements between players and the club are strictly confidential. The club warned that such rumors could harm the interests of the involved parties and damage the international reputation, credibility, and prestige of women's handball.

Additional financial pressures may stem from the uncertain future of the club's partnership with its main sponsor, Audi, as the current agreement expires at the end of the season. Furthermore, changes to tax regulations for elite athletes in Hungary, which significantly reduced the threshold for favorable taxation, are expected to impact the club's financial management.
