North Macedonian side RK Vardar won their second Champions League title and still remain in the competition alongside fellow finalists from last season Telekom Veszprem of Hungary.

EHF President Michael Wiederer mentioned that clubs are desperate to compete this year with the date being pushed further back due to the continuing development of the spread of the virus, which now has more than 2.22 million confirmed cases in the world, resulting in the deaths of over 149,000 people.

He said, “From the point of view of European club handball – and this opinion was supported by the main club representatives in a coordination meeting last week – there is the common will to stage the EHF Final4s in 2020.

"In any case, this will be a decision based on sportive results achieved in rounds already completed."

Consultations continue with the local organisers of the Women's EHF Final4 which is set to take place in Budapest in Hungary on September 5 and 6, as well as the men's EHF Cup Finals in Germany's capital of Berlin on August 29 and 30.
