Gorenje Velenje have brought back the spotlight on Slovenian club handball in European competition. Last season, the Slovenian club returned to the domestic throne after eight years, beating RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko to the Slovenian league title for the first time since 2012/13.

Zoran Jovicic’s team announced an international comeback, reaching the semi-final of the EHF European Cup Men 2020/21 where they narrowly went down against eventual champions AEK Athens HC. This season, they stepped up to the EHF European League and surprised many by reaching the quarter-finals.
