Our Teams - MEN
We have now selected the 4 teams for the First ever Pro Handball USA mega event, and we are very proud of presenting 4 teams, which all are part of the EHF Champions League game for the upcoming season.
FÜchse Berlin
is our 1st team presented. The team from Berlin has been a Dream-Team in the making for years and in this season, topping all the charts. Presently no 1 and favorite to win the Bundesliga. FÜCHSE BERLIN already qualified for The Machineseeker EHF Final4 with a magnificent effort in the latest and most important games.
Heading the team is Mathias Gidsel – the first male handball player in the world to have been named World Player of the Year, 2 years in a row and is both defending Olympic- and World Champion with Denmark. You also find stars like Lasse Andersson, Tim Freihöfer, Nils Lichtlein, Fabian Wiede and many more. The team is led by the talented head coach Jaron Siewert.
HBC nantes
is our 2nd team. The club from western France is still in a head-to-head battle with PSG for the national title. HBC Nantes made the impossible possible as the first team in years beating Sporting Lisbon in Lisbon and qualified for the final showdown in Cologne in June.
HBC NANTES is not just a team of experience and young talents, but also big names, like Nicolas Tournat, Aymeric Minne, Julian Bos and Ivan Pesic. Heading the team is local coach Gregory Cojean with an impressive run. The homecourt in Nantes is a special experience – and we hope that HBC NANTES brings the supporting brass band to the event in the USA.
aalborg handball
is the 3rd team for the event. The defending Danish champion has a star filled team who also made it to the final of last year’s Final4 in Cologne.
The team is currently chasing for more gold in the Danish league. Few of the stars on the team from AALBORG HÅNDBOLD include – former World Player of the Year – Niklas Landin, Norwegian ace Sander Sagosen, upcoming superstars Thomas Arnoldsen and Mads Hoxer as well as Swedish national team player Lukas Nilsson and four-time World Champion and 2024 Olympic gold winner Simon Hald.
Coming to 2026, even more prominent star power is being added with Juri Knorr from Germany and the Norwegian duo of Patrick Andersson and Alexander Blonz.
