Pablo Simonet continues family tradition in European League

FEATURE: Hailing from a handball-mad city, Cuenca are returning to the second-tier European competition, spearheaded by a player who will make his debut in the EHF European League Men, Pablo Simonet

Since 1989, when the team was created, REBI Balonmano Cuenca had never finished in second place in the Spanish league, until last season.

With an outstanding fanbase, some excellent talent and a long-term coach in Lidio Jimenez, who is one of the longest-serving coaches in European handball, Cuenca delivered a flawless performance earlier this year, and secured the silver medal in the Liga ASOBAL, just behind unbeaten Barça.
