This is the first major trophy in the history of the NAHB, and what a trophy.
The Nantes handball players created the feat by winning the first European League in the history of French handball, by beating the Hungarians of Siofok (36-31), reigning champions, Sunday in Baia Mare.

The daughters of Guillaume Saurina (former professional player from Nantes, Nîmes or even Chambéry) almost led from start to finish and were never really in difficulty in this final.
At the break, they were ahead of four goals (17-13).
Yoann Joubert, president since January already titled!
The Nantes women, who had never before participated in a European Final Four, were impressive throughout the weekend, starting by winning their semi-final on Saturday against the Romanian host club Baia Mare (36-34).
They therefore won the European League, the second continental competition behind the Champions League.
As a reminder, the new president of the NAHB since the beginning of the year is none other than Yoann Joubert, business manager (boss of the real estate group Réalités).
Joubert was associated with the president of the FCN, Waldemar Kita in the late YelloPark project.
