AtticGo Elche faces a pivotal Wednesday in the Guerreras-Iberdrola League, with a 20-hour window before a crucial clash against the leaders San Sebastian. The match stands as a decisive moment in Week 14 as the team chases a strong position in the domestic race.
The scheduling shift mirrors a busy weekend, as green-clad players also travel to Esperanza Lag for a tense first leg in the EHF European Cup quarterfinal against Motive.co and Gijón. The tilt signals a heavy orange-and-green week across the competition calendar.
The Elche squad has been enjoying a peak stretch this season. Under coach Joaquín Rocamora, the team has rattled off eight consecutive wins in all competitions, including five in the league (Grafometal La Rioja, Motive.co, Beti Onak, Caja Rural Aula Valladolid, Mecalia Atlético Guardés), one victory in the Cup (Porriño), and two wins against ZORK Jagodina from Serbia in the European round of 16. AtticGo Elche has not tasted defeat in the Guerreras-Iberdrola League since a 21-26 loss to Porriño last December, marking a notable home form run.
That momentum places AtticGo in fifth position with 16 points, just one behind Porriño, while Rocasa Canarias sits in second, third, and fourth on the table. The team led by Bera Bera remains the benchmark, gathering 24 points after twelve wins and a single setback.
Vertigo calendar for AtticGo Elche
JA Galvanized
Elche’s women continue to compete across three fronts, keeping their outlook expansive and ambitious. This Wednesday presents a stern test against the clear favorites from San Sebastian. Even with a home advantage and strong form, the match promises to be a probe into the team’s consistency and resilience.
The immediate objective remains the upcoming European Cup clash with Gijón, scheduled for Sunday. Yet the significance of every fixture is underscored by the belief that the best version of the team tends to emerge between January and February, a period that often defines the season’s trajectory.

The Elche calendar is demanding, but the squad’s enthusiasm and resolve underpin a confident approach to the road ahead. The energy around the club reflects a genuine belief that growth is ongoing and tangible in the moment as well as in the long run.
Renovation
AtticGo Elche Handball Club looks beyond the immediate season, focusing on future development as well. Last week, two renewals were confirmed with players who have become core values of the squad: Paola Bernabé from Torrevieja and Zaira Benítez from Elda. In a separate development, the club formalized an extension for its Catalan goalkeeper Nicole Morales after five seasons. Morales will explore new paths after continuing with the team for another term.
