When arch-rivals meet in Spain, the game is dubbed âEl Clasicoâ â a classic for both the fans to enjoy and where the players draw extra motivation. This weekâs âEl Clasicoâ will not be played in Spain but in Ramnicu Valcea â a town that was the epicentre of womenâs handball in Romania for nearly 30 years.
Between 2014 and 2019, the self-made Romanian capital of handball did not have a team in the DELO EHF Champions League, but SCM came back roaring as they aimed to return to the spotlight.
They did that, winning the Romanian league after pipping CSM Bucuresti in 2019. Now, the rivalry from the domestic league and Cups is moving into the premium European competition.
