RK Krim (also referred to as Krim OTP Group Mercator) has faced a difficult period in the women’s handball Champions League.

In September, the team suffered a 29-40 defeat against FTC-Toyota Kovács. Following the match, coach Rasmus Poulsen described the squad as being in a “rebuilding phase” involving a new coach, new players, and a new system, noting that the young team was still adjusting to tournament pressure.

By October, the team’s struggles continued as they recorded their fifth consecutive defeat in Group A, losing 37-31 to Borussia Dortmund. This loss left the Slovenian champions at the bottom of the group alongside Sola.
