Romanian
handballer Raluca Băcăoanu, a member of Romania’s national team, has
transferred from SCM Ramnicu Valcea to Gloria Bistrita. In 2019 she won the
title and the Romanian Supercup with Valcea. This season SCM was the leader in
the league tables before the epidemic broke out. The competition was
interrupted, without any medals being handed out. Previously Raluca Băcăoanu
played for CSS 1 Constanta, Unirea Slobozia and Magura Cisnadie. She has been
playing for the national team since 2017. In other news from handball, the
European Handball Federation has decided to provide Romania with an additional
spot in the men’s EHF Cup next season. The decision was prompted by CSM
Bucharest being the Challenge Cup defenders. The Federation has cancelled the
remainder of European inter-club competitions, with the exception of Champions
League for both men and women. The EHF subsequently decided to compensate
federations whose representatives were titleholders. CSM Bucharest will be the
team to occupy the vacant spot, as it ranked fifth in the domestic
championship, before being suspended due to the health crisis.
