Dear fans,

A HUGE THANK YOU for your support that you gave us tonight at the “Boris Trajkovski” Sports Center. It was wonderful to see full stands, cheering for our club and offering their support. Unfortunately, through no fault of our own, the final match against HC AEK from Athens did not take place because the opposing team refused to come out onto the court and play the return leg.

Our club is in constant communication with the EHF regarding the further outcome of the match, and you will be informed through our official club channels. Once again, a big THANK YOU to everyone who came to the arena and gave their support to HC Alkaloid!

Respectfully,
Handball Club Alkaloid

A new trophy now sits in the showcases at Avtokomanda, as HC Multi Essence claimed the youth championship title of Macedonia.

This past weekend, HC Multi Essence and HC Alkaloid competed in the Final Four tournament of the youth competition, hosted by HC Butel Skopje over two days at Skopje’s Anton Dimitrov hall.

In the semifinals, HC Multi Essence dominated HC Butel Skopje, cruising to a 34-21 victory with a 13-goal margin that secured their spot in the final against HC Eurofarm Pelister.

Once again, the youth squad of HC Multi Essence rose to the occasion, delivering a commanding 32-22 victory in the championship match to lift the trophy.

Goalkeeper Gjorgji Nikolovski earned honors as the tournament’s best goalkeeper, while Matej Petreski was named best player of the competition.

HC Alkaloid is about to play a historic match in which it could secure its first European title. On Sunday at 20:30, the second leg of the EHF European Cup final will take place at the Boris Trajkovski arena in Skopje.

The first leg of the final in Athens ended in a 29-25 victory for Alkaloid, a lead they must protect to claim the trophy.

On the eve of the second leg, HC Alkaloid held a press conference.

KIRIL LAZAROV, HEAD COACH OF HC ALKALOID

I want to thank everyone for their support throughout this European journey. Reaching the final is of great importance for our club and for Macedonian handball. We delivered an outstanding performance in Greece, and I can confidently say the result exceeded expectations. Holding a four-goal advantage is excellent; the players executed our plan perfectly, and we head into the second leg with a substantial cushion.

On one hand, I remain cautious, aware of our mindset and the fact that 19 of our squad members are Macedonian… but on the other, sensing the atmosphere two days before the match, we need to approach the second leg with a bit more composure. We have to enjoy this moment… as a former player who’s been to more finals than I’ve won (I’m referring to Champions League finals), I believe that experience helps me prepare the team effectively. I don’t want the players feeling any pressure – I’m confident they’ll give their all on Sunday.

Our system is functioning well, though we do have some weaknesses. I don’t want to dwell on missing four or five key players in the second half of the season. I hope our younger players won’t be overwhelmed and that we’ll handle this positive pressure.

IVAN GALEVSKI, HC ALKALOID GOALKEEPER

“AEK is an experienced, high-quality team with players well-established in world handball. Even with our four-goal lead, nothing will be easy because we know what kind of opponent we’re up against in Skopje. We do have one advantage we lacked in the away leg, our home crowd. I’m sure that if we play well and follow the coach’s instructions, we can celebrate and lift a European trophy which is no small achievement for a club that has existed for four years.”

NIKOLA MARKOSKI, HC ALKALOID PLAYER

“AEK is a top-notch team full of quality players. Despite the four-goal deficit, I believe they’ll fight to demonstrate their best. It’s our responsibility to stick to our game plan. We’re preparing to minimize technical errors and, with a solid defence, secure another victory and a historic European title.”

“Dear audience, valued supporters, our eighth player on the court.

As we look forward to the EHF European Cup final clash between HC Alkaloid and HC AEK, we call on our fans to express their passion for Macedonian handball and HC Alkaloid through fair and sportsmanlike cheering.

Let us cheer wholeheartedly, with reverence, demonstrating that genuine supporters add to the fair play demonstrated on the court.

We appreciate the dedicated support to date and the positive feedback following the first encounter with HC AEK. On Sunday, another demanding 60 minutes awaits us. The team needs the crowd more than ever to show their support and back us while respecting and honoring the visiting side in the spirit of sportsmanship.

Joining us in the stands will be our youngest fan, just two years old, while our official supporters’ group, “Kafetinki,” exemplifies loud and passionate yet respectful cheering.

Let us set a standard of sportsmanship for our club, our opponents, and the European handball community, because sport is not only a battle for victory but also a celebration of respect, unity, and honorable play. Let us cheer fairly and with passion: Go Alkaloid!”

Sincerely,
President of HC Alkaloid,

Goran Minov
