Kometal GP withdraw from CL

The European Handball Federation has been informed by the FYR Macedonian champion, Kometal GP, in a letter dated on Friday 19 June 2009 that due to a difficult economic situation the club cannot take part in the 2009/10 season of the Women’s EHF Champions League.

As Kometal Gjorce Petrov were among the teams directly qualifying for the EHF Champions League Group Matches, EHF adapted the seeding list accordingly.
