Maximum tension on the Kosovo axis

Maximum tension on the axis Kosovo – Romania! After the interrupted match at the National Arena, Minaur Baia Mare is going to this country to play in the European Cup with the Rahoveci handball players.

The Romanian Handball Federation requested additional protection measures for our team, as our handball players fear serious problems in Kosovo.

Maximum risk match that Minaur Baia Mare plays in Kosovo: “We have requested additional measures!”

Minaur Baia Mare is the favorite in the European Cup round of 16 double with Rahoveci, but the Romanians are rather afraid of the hostile atmosphere and the problems they might encounter in Kosovo.

Therefore, the European Federation will treat the game in a special way after what happened on the National Arenaeven if incidents caused by fans occur very rarely at handball matches.

The first leg is scheduled in Kosovo on November 23, while the second leg takes place a week later.

“We have to stay in the area of ​​sports, within the limits of sportsmanship. We hope that this will happen and that political issues will be put aside. However, after what happened at the football match that Romania had with Kosovo, we asked the European Handball Federation for additional measures for this match. The organizing club must ensure the safety of the opponents.

What I can tell you is that there will be more important protection measures after the recent events at the National Arena. We have to be cautious, even if we are talking about isolated accidents in handball. I also refereed matches with a high degree of risk in my career and there were no problems at that time”, said Constantin Din, for ProSport.

The Kosovars, ready for a historic match with Minaur Baia Mare: “We need massive support, like we’ve never had before!”

Get close to a historic performancethose from Rahovec are expecting a great atmosphere, as it happened in the previous round, when they managed a big surprise in front of the Belgians from Bocholt.

“On Saturday we need massive support like we’ve never had before. After writing history in local sports, qualifying for the third round of the EHF European Cup, after defeating the Belgian champion Bocholt, we have a chance to write history in Kosovar handball.

In Mizahir Isma, we will welcome the Romanians from CS Minaur Baia Mare, and a week later, we go to Romania for the return match.

In the history of Kosovar sportsmen, Besa Famgas is the team that reached the furthest, where we are now. With an eventual win, we will become the first local team to qualify for the top 16 of the EHF European Cup.

However, it is an incredibly difficult mission, because it is an experienced opponent. We can even say that the team from Romania is one of the favorites. CS Minaur Baia Mare is a three-time Romanian champion, six-time cup winner, two-time EHF Cup winner, semi-finalist of last year’s edition of the EHF European Cup and finalist in 2022. It also participated in the Champions League. Despite the financial problems, it is a strong team with very strong players.

We want to prove that we are ready for matches at this level and we will give everything we can, but it will be impossible without a massive support in Rahovec,” the Kosovo club wrote on social media.
