Siege mentality brings Targu Jiu to European League

FEATURE: The Romanian town of Targu Jiu is being put on the European map as they make their European competition debut

Six years ago, CSM Targu Jiu were founded as an ambitious side, aiming for higher objectives than just playing in the Romanian second league.

Hailing from a city without tradition in women’s handball, but with some results in men’s handball, the team secured promotion to the first Romanian league at the end of the 2021/22 season. The club relies on a strong core of Romanian players, unlike most of the powerhouses in the league.
