Cyprus Handball Team Involved in Serious Accident in Poland

The Cyprus national men's handball team was involved in a serious accident while traveling to Poland for the return match against Estonia. The team's bus crashed in bad weather, resulting in players being injured by broken glass and seats. Assistant coach Christos Hadjiefraim stated that the situation could have been much worse, describing the avoidance of a greater tragedy as a miracle. The national team had traveled to Estonia with the Estonian national team, but then continued its journey to Poland alone. Rescue efforts lasted approximately two hours.
