FEATURE: Relying on rising stars, Elverum Handball made the play-offs for the second year in a row and have an eye on taking the next step
For five consecutive seasons, Elverum Handball failed to progress from the EHF Champions League Men group phase. But since the former Norwegian international Borge Lund took over the head coach position, Elverum have made the play-offs in consecutive seasons.
Last season, the Norwegian champions faced Barça in the play-offs, who brushed them aside en route to winning the competition without dropping a single game, while this season Elverum battle another powerhouse, Paris Saint-Germain Handball.
