Start for the fans at the JACK&JONES Autograph session

Premium Partner JACK&JONES once again organised an autograph session with players from all four teams and the trophy

Start for the fans at the JACK&JONES Autograph session

Long before the stars of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 arrived, the fans were already waiting outside the JACK&JONES store at Hohe Straße 68. Fans from all over Europe were there to get an autograph from their handball idols and take a picture with the VELUX EHF Champions League trophy.

At 13.00 hrs, the VELUX EHF FINAL4 presenter, Markus Floth, started heating up the people in the streets and pretty fast, they were gathering all around the store, waiting for the players to arrive. The loudest fans had the chance to win a JACK&JONES gift or tickets for next season’s VELUX EHF Champions League.

When the players arrived, the crowd started cheering for their favourites. Arpad Sterbik and Cedric Sorhaindo from FC Barcelona, Gergö and Tamás Iváncsik from MKB-MVM Veszprém, Lars Kaufmann and Goran Bogunovic from SG Flensburg Handewitt and Christian Zeitz and Wael Jallouz from THW Kiel were at the JACK&JONES store to give autographs and take pictures with their fans.

And while the players were busy inside the store, the mascots were battling it out on the street. They entertained the crowd, took pictures with the fans and people passing by and they even gave autographs too. “I just danced around with some of the mascots. They are just so funny, I really like them”, said Nicole, a fan from Cologne who will be cheering for Flensburg over the weekend. Even when the players had already left, the mascots were still outside entertaining people passing by.

Iuri from Budapest was happy to take a picture with the Iváncsik brothers and he even won one of the JACK&JONES gifts. “It was the perfect start into the biggest handball weekend of the year!”
