Chance of a lifetime for VELUX EHF FINAL4 fans as the EHF offers supporters the opportunity to play a part in the competition’s medal presentations

Are you your team’s biggest fan?

Fans lucky enough to have claimed their ticket to the 2014 VELUX EHF FINAL4 are to be offered the chance of a lifetime to get up close and personal with the stars of the VELUX EHF Champions League.

One fan from each of the four participating teams FC Barcelona, THW Kiel, SG Flensburg-Handewitt and Veszprem is to be given the opportunity to be part of the winners’ ceremonies at the fifth edition of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 and present medals to the players of their team.

Of course this means that one supporter will have the ultimate honour of sharing the joy of the winners of the ultimate prize in club handball.

Commenting on the unique initiative, Michael Wiederer, Secretary General of the European Handball Federation, said, “We want to bring fans closer to the game, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for supporters to experience the emotional highpoint of the season for themselves in front of 20,000 spectators in the LANXESS arena.”

A spot in the limelight in Cologne’s LANXESS arena is guaranteed for each of the four lucky fans, who will be interviewed live in the arena and appear in the event’s official newspaper to be published on the finals day.

Each person will receive a special VELUX EHF FINAL4 Goody Bag and a signed shirt from their team as well as a souvenir framed photograph after the event.
