Men’s EHF Cup was made after merging EHF Cup and Cup Winners Cup and it started in season 2012/2013. It is mostly known as second tier of European handball behind EHF Champions League. EHF Cup format is qualification phase, after which we got 4 groups with 4 clubs. Best two clubs from each group go in quarter-finals and it all end with final tournament. First hosts of EHF Cup were Nantes (France) and Rhein-Neckar Lowen (Bundesliga) won the EHF Cup. Last year in Berlin SC Szeged (Hungary) manage to beat Montpellier (France) with 29-28.
