Sports weekend
Handball. European women’s handball
matches are scheduled to take place. The quarter-final play-offs will
be held in the Champions League. The Romanian side CSM Bucharest were
initially due to play the Russian side CSKA
Moscow, but Russian and Belarusian sides have been banned from
European cups. CSM will thus go straight into the quarters, where
they will be facing the Danish side Esbjerg at the end of April and
again in early May.
