Foreword EHF President
Dear handball friends,
Usually, the summertime is a quiet time for the EHF Champions League. But not so much in 2022, as
we have proudly presented a new title sponsor for Europe’s premium men’s club handball
competition. So, welcome to the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2022/23!
Machineseeker has arrived as title sponsor at the start of the competition’s anniversary 30th season.
Handball history has been written many times and numerous legends have arisen since the first edition
in 1993/94. And I am sure the upcoming season will only add to that legacy!
The big question will be if Barça will be holding the trophy for a third straight season at the
TruckScout24 EHF FINAL4 2023 in Cologne. The Spanish record champions could not exactly replicate
their perfect 2020/21 season, when they won all 20 matches, but they still ended up on the highest
step of the podium again in 2021/22.
Barça’s attempt for a third consecutive championship will be anything but a walk in the park. They start
their journey in the strong group B alongside former champions RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko, Lomza
Industria Kielce, and THW Kiel, former finalists HBC Nantes and Aalborg Håndbold, and competition
regulars Pick Szeged and Elverum Handball.
On the other hand, group A doesn’t look much easier, with multiple EHF FINAL4 contenders Paris Saint-
Germain Handball and Telekom Veszprém HC, 2002 trophy holders SC Magdeburg, two-time EHF Finals
Men contenders Orlen Wisla Plock, perennial Croatian champions HC PPD Zagreb, Portuguese pride FC
Porto, reinforced C.S. Dinamo Bucuresti, and dangerous Danish side GOG.
New name, same format: All matches in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2022/23 will be
played on Wednesdays and Thursdays (at 18:45 and 20:45 CE(S)T), the two best-ranked teams from
each group will advance directly to the quarter-finals, while the teams finishing between third and
sixth will first proceed to the play-offs.
Enjoy the matches!

MACHINESEEKER EHF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Season 2022/23
UVODNA BESEDA
PREDSEDNIKA RK CELJE PIVOVARNA LAŠKO
Spoštovane ljubiteljice in ljubitelji rokometa,
dobrodošli v dvorani Zlatorog, ki v sezoni 2022/23 znova gosti
tekme elitne Machineseeker EHF Lige prvakov. Po enoletni odsotnosti
v družbi najboljših bomo v tej sezoni v hramu slovenskega
rokometa znova gostili številne kakovostne evropske zasedbe, tako
da se nedvomno obeta zanimivo rokometno dogajanje. V elitni ligi
prvakov bomo nastopili še sedemindvajsetič, s čimer se nedvomno
uvrščamo med najbolj tradicionalne klube najmočnejšega evropskega
rokometnega klubskega tekmovanja.
Na današnji tekmi, ki bo prva domača evropska v tej sezoni, bo
Zlatorogu gostoval nemški gigant THW Kiel, rekorder po številu
naslovov v nemški Bundesligi in drugi najuspešnejši klub po številu
evropskih lovorik. Nemški velikan ima v svoji zasedbi številne zvezdnike
evropskega rokometa, med njimi tudi odličnega Miho Zarabca,
ki je ravno iz Celja prestopil v Kiel.
Ekipa Rokometnega kluba Celje Pivovarna Laško bo v tej sezoni
nedvomno med mlajšimi na evropskem odru, znova pa lahko v moštvu
najdemo plejado obetavnih rokometašev, ki bodo v prihodnosti
zagotovo krojili vrh evropskega rokometa.
Verjamemo, da se lahko v tej sezoni lige prvakov pogumno in samozavestno
zoperstavimo vsem tekmecem - poleg Kiela so to še
Aalborg, Barcelona, Nantes, Elverum, Kielce in Pick Szeged. Skupina,
v kateri nastopamo, je izjemno močna, a s pogumno igro in
nepopustljivom pristopom bodo mladi celjski vitezi naredili vse, da
dokažejo, da si Slovenija zasluži mesto v najelitnejšem rokometnem
tekmovanju v Evropi.
Ob koncu še iskrena zahvala, da ste nas danes obiskali in da podpirate
vaš in naš Rokometni klub Celje Pivovarna Laško. Veseli smo,
da skupaj soustvarjamo celjsko rokometno zgodbo, za katero bomo
naredili vse, da bi se uspešno pisala še dolgo.
Vabim vas, da skupaj uživamo ob dobrih rokometnih predstavah in
da skupaj podpremo mlado celjsko zasedbo pri izzivih nove sezone.
Gregor Planteu,
predsednik RK Celje Pivovarna Laško

MACHINESEEKER EHF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Season 2022/23
V ZLATOROGU ZNOVA
ELITNA LIGA PRVAKOV!
PRIHAJAJOČE TEKME
Rokometaši Celja Pivovarne Laško bodo po enoletnem premoru
v tej sezoni znova del najelitnejšega klubskega rokometnega tekmovanja,
skupno pa bodo v Machineseeker EHF Ligi prvakov nastopili
že sedemindvajsetič v svoji zgodovini, s čimer spadajo med
najbolj tradicionalne zasedbe evropske elite. V svoji skupini bodo
Pivovarji gostili precej zvenečih imen - kot prvi bodo v dvorani
Zlatorog gostovali rokometaši nemškega velikana Kiela, rekorderji
po številu naslovov v nemški Bundesligi in drugi po številu evropskih
lovorik. Z nemško zasedbo v Celje prihaja tudi Miha Zarabec,
odlični organizator igre slovenske reprezentance, ki je ravno iz Celja
prestopil v Kiel. V Zlatorogu bomo lahko na tej tekmi pozdravili
tudi druge zvezdnike evropskega rokometa, tako da se nedvomno
obeta pravi spektakel.
Celjski rokometaši so sicer na tekmi prvega kroga lige prvakov izgubili
proti danskemu Aalborgu, a je mlado moštvo slovenskih državnih
prvakov prikazalo zelo borbeno in kombinatorno predstavo,
ki je dober obet pred prihajajočimi evropskimi izzivi.
Poleg Kiela in Aalborga bo v tej sezoni v Zlatorogu gostovalo še
pet evropskih ekip - španski gigant Barcelona, ki tudi brani naslov
aktualnih evropskih prvakov, francoski Nantes, madžarski Pick
Szeged, poljske Kielce in norveški Elverum. Zasedba klubov, ki
zagotavlja spektakle v hramu slovenskega rokometa, tako da že
sedaj vabljeni na preostale obračune v najelitnejšem rokometnem
klubskem tekmovanju v Evropi.
