'''Metz HB''' ('''Metz Handball''') is the name of a [[France|French]] [[handball]] club from [[Metz]], capital of [[Lorraine (region)|Lorraine]]. The club has teams for both women and men, but especially the professional women's team is the most successful in French handball since the beginning of the 1990s. This team currently competes in the French Women's Handball First League.
'''Metz Handball''' is a French [[handball]] club from [[Metz]], France. Founded in 1965 under the name ASPTT Metz, the club has an exceptional track record with some 40 titles won, which is the all-time record for a French women's team sport. Chaired by Thierry Weizman since 2005, the club is becoming increasingly professional and now aims to play a leading role in Europe.


The men's team also played in [[LNH Division 1|1st League]] between 1971 and 1983, and nowadays plays in Nationale 1 (3rd division) since 2020.
The women's team have won a total of 19 French Championships (all time record), seven French Cup Championships (all time record), eight French League Cup Championships (all time record), and was European [[Women's EHF Cup]] runner-up in 2013.

The club was established in 1967 under the name of ASPTT Metz, but it was not until 1986 the women's team was promoted to the best league in France. Manager of the team at that time was French [[Olivier Krumbholz]], who later became national manager for France. The club was renamed twice as Handball Metz Métropole in 2002 and later as Metz Handball in 2009 (current name).
Over the past few decades, Metz Handball has become the most prestigious women's handball club in France. It is also one of the oldest institutions playing in the French elite.


The club was created in 1965 under the name of ASPTT Metz, but it wasn't until 1968, with the creation of the women's team, that the club became well-known in the sport.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Metz Handball|url=https://metz-handball.com/le-club/a-propos-du-club|website=metz-handball.com|date=June 2023|language=fr}}</ref>
Since the promotion, Metz HB has had overwhelming success with 19 National Championships from 1989–2014, which is the all time record in the French Women's First League Championship.

Second-place finishers in France and semi-finalists in the Cup of Cups in 1977, the men's team gave ASPTT Metz its first prestige on a major stage. But in the shadow of the men's team, the women's team progressed year after year until being promoted in 1986 to France's top tier, without being relegated since. The coach of the team at that time was Frenchman [[Olivier Krumbholz]], who later became the successful national manager for [[France women's national handball team|France]].
Since the promotion, Metz HB has had overwhelming success with 24 National Championships from 1989 to 2022, which is the all-time record in the French Women's First League Championship.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Metz Handball|url=https://metz-handball.com/le-club/a-propos-du-club|website=metz-handball.com|date=June 2023|language=fr}}</ref>

Metz Handball is progressively establishing itself as a strong place in European handball. A first epic saw the Dragonnes reach the semi-final of the Cup Winners Cup in 1999. They then became famous in the EHF Cup where, after several quarter finals, they played a first European final in 2013 but did not manage to win the title. The following seasons, the club gains momentum and shines in the Champions League. Unlucky quarter-finalists in 2017 and 2018, Metz participated for the first time in the Final 4 of Europe's most prestigious competition in 2019, where they finished fourth.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Metz Handball|url=https://metz-handball.com/le-club/a-propos-du-club|website=metz-handball.com|date=June 2023|language=fr}}</ref>

After a season without any trophy in 2021, Metz Handball realizes the most beautiful season of its history. The club won a 24th French Championship title, a 10th French Cup, and became famous in the [[Ligue Butagaz Énergie]] with a flawless record: 26 victories in 26 games. For the second time in its history, the Dragonnes participated in the Final 4 of the [[Women's EHF Champions League]] and won their first European medal by finishing third.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ehfcl.eurohandball.com/women/2021-22|title=EHF Final4 Women 2022|publisher=European Handball Federation}}</ref>

History

[edit]

Over the past few decades, Metz Handball has become the most prestigious women's handball club in France. It is also one of the oldest institutions playing in the French elite.

The club was created in 1965 under the name of ASPTT Metz, but it wasn't until 1968, with the creation of the women's team, that the club became well-known in the sport.[1]

Second-place finishers in France and semi-finalists in the Cup of Cups in 1977, the men's team gave ASPTT Metz its first prestige on a major stage. But in the shadow of the men's team, the women's team progressed year after year until being promoted in 1986 to France's top tier, without being relegated since. The coach of the team at that time was Frenchman Olivier Krumbholz, who later became the successful national manager for France. Since the promotion, Metz HB has had overwhelming success with 24 National Championships from 1989 to 2022, which is the all-time record in the French Women's First League Championship.[2]

Metz Handball is progressively establishing itself as a strong place in European handball. A first epic saw the Dragonnes reach the semi-final of the Cup Winners Cup in 1999. They then became famous in the EHF Cup where, after several quarter finals, they played a first European final in 2013 but did not manage to win the title. The following seasons, the club gains momentum and shines in the Champions League. Unlucky quarter-finalists in 2017 and 2018, Metz participated for the first time in the Final 4 of Europe's most prestigious competition in 2019, where they finished fourth.[3]

After a season without any trophy in 2021, Metz Handball realizes the most beautiful season of its history. The club won a 24th French Championship title, a 10th French Cup, and became famous in the Ligue Butagaz Énergie with a flawless record: 26 victories in 26 games. For the second time in its history, the Dragonnes participated in the Final 4 of the Women's EHF Champions League and won their first European medal by finishing third.[4]
