Plenty of supporters showed up in the Palais des Sports JM Geoffroy in Dijon, creating a fantastic atmosphere for the two semi-finals. No doubt that the cheers will only get louder today with the silverware at stake.

Which fans will celebrate at the end of the day?

While we’re on the top scorers subject, Johanna Reichert is on track to finish as the EHF European League top scorer for the second consecutive season. She has already hit the 100-goal mark in 2025/26, just like last year, and the left back needs seven more successful shots to equal her previous tally of 110.

45 goals separate Reichert from second-placed Stine Nørklit Lønborg, so this individual award is more than secured.

It remains to be seen who will receive the MVP trophy at the EHF Finals Dijon métropole 2026.

One of the players who stood out yesterday on the court was Adriana Holejova, who led Dijon’s attack with 10 goals — topping the weekend’s charts so far. The right back was key for her side’s comeback in the second half, netting six times in the last 17 minutes to help Dijon turn a 18:22 deficit into a 33:30 victory over Esztergom.

And we’ve captured her outstanding performance on our Instagram page.
