European Cup victory brings hope to Turkish handball fans

FEATURE: After their historic win in the finals of the EHF European Cup Women, Antalya Konyaalti's players talk about what the trophy means

Being the "first Turkish team to ever win a European cup in handball" was the headline of the day for Antalya Konyaalti BSK on Monday. Their strong comeback from a six-goal deficit in the first leg of the EHF European Cup Women final against Club Balonmán Atlético Guardes may be the highlight of the season.

But it was also notable that Türkiye’s first European handball champion is a women's team. Captain Yasemin Şahin devoted the cup to Turkish women.
