MT Melsungen to make Champions League debut against Vardar Skopje

MT Melsungen is set to make its debut in the Handball Champions League tonight at the Rothenbach-Halle in Kassel. The German Bundesliga side will face North Macedonian opponent Vardar Skopje at 20:45.

Coach Roberto Garcia Parrondo aims for the club's first-ever victory in this competition. While the team is missing Timo Kastening, David Mandic, and Nikolaj Enderleit due to injury, most of the squad is expected to be available. The matchup carries historical weight for players like Ruben Marchan, who previously won the Champions League with Vardar, and youngster Leon Stehl, who made his professional debut against the same opponent in the European League.

In previous encounters between the two clubs in the European League, Melsungen holds one win from October 2024, though they have lost the three subsequent matches against Skopje.
