A few seasons ago, Siófok KC rose to dominate Europe’s second-tier tournament, winning the EHF Cup in 2019 and looking on track to make the finals the following season, before it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The architect of that success was head coach Tor Odvar Moen, who joined Siófok in 2018. In his very first season, the side finished as bronze medallists in the domestic league and achieved the club’s biggest success when they beat Team Esbjerg 47:42 in aggregate in the EHF Cup Finals.
