EHF Challenge Cup
The EHF Challenge Cup is a European handball competition . It has been hosted by the European Handball Federation (EHF) since 2000. The competition is the successor to the Euro City Cup . Since the name was changed to EHF Challenge Cup , only teams from countries that occupy a position from eighth place in the EHF nation ranking have taken part in the competition. The associations from places eight to 13 send one representative, the associations from places 14 to 27 send two representatives and the countries from ranks 28 to 40 send three representatives to the EHF Challenge Cup. From position 41 there are four representatives per country in order to compensate for these countries' missing starting place in the EHF Cup .
