The new handball season starts on Thursday, August 22 with a title match between the national champion and the winner of the Russian Cup HC CSKA and the finalist of the Cup HC Permskie Medvedi, according to the HFR press service.
The match will be held in Moscow at the Dynamo volleyball arena. The date and location are confirmed by the High Council of the HFR.
— Supporters already miss big handball, and in less than a month they will have an opportunity to enjoy the play of well-known teams. The match is going to be exciting, interesting, it is not just a warm-up before the starting season, but a fight for the trophy. That is why I’m sure that it will bring pleasure to handball admirers. It happened that HC Permskie Medvedi hosted the decisive stages of the Cup of Russia in spring, that is why it was decided to hold the Super Cup in Moscow. We remember, that the final matches of the championship of Russia in the capital Dymano Sports Palace in May were sold out, we hope the situation will be the same now, — the Chairman of the HFR High Council Sergey Shishkarev noted.
