Since the beginning of the Respect Your Talent programme, many young and talented players have taken part in activities that were meant to develop their skills, both on and off-court. Some of these have already gained experience on the international stage and have become important assets for their clubs.

Following the celebration of International Women’s Day on 8 March and as we’re heading into the knockout stages of the competitions, here are some must-watch Respect Your Talent participants who are currently active in the EHF European League Women and the EHF Champions League Women. A noticeable absence on our list is the 19-year-old left back Julie Scaglione, who suffered a serious injury at the beginning of the year and is hoping to recover soon.
