Court of Handball issues decision in Victor Iturriza case
The EHF Court of Handball has reached its decision in a case opened against Dinamo Bucuresti player Victor Iturriza.
During the EHF Champions League Men 2026/27 match against Barça, which took place on 8 October 2026, Victor Iturriza was directly disqualified at minute 33:37 of the match.
After a careful evaluation of the incident, the EHF Court of Handball found that the action was reckless and extremely dangerous.
Due to the serious unsportsmanlike conduct the EHF Court of Handball decided that Victor Iturriza is suspended from the participation in EHF club competitions for one match.
The player is therefore not entitled to participate in the next EHF Champions League Men 2026/27 match to be played on 15 October 2026 against Barça.
An appeal may be filed with the EHF Court of Appeal within seven days.
