Sporting starts Champions handball in accessible group. FC Porto with difficult task

RTP Notícias7 September 2026 at 10:50

Sporting, Portuguese three-time handball champion, starts its participation in the Champions League in a group considered more accessible. The green and white team thus sets high expectations for this phase of the European competition.

FC Porto, on the other hand, should face significant difficulties in its group. The dragons will have ahead of them Füchse Berlin, a German team with tradition in European handball, and Veszprém, a historic formation from Hungary.

Veszprém is recognized as one of the strongest clubs in European handball, which represents a considerable challenge for any team that intends to advance in the competition.

With both Portuguese clubs in action in the Champions League, the European handball season promises to be competitive, although with different prospects for each Portuguese team.
