CSM București Secures Swedish Star Matilda Forsberg for Next Season

CSM București continues its aggressive transfer strategy, securing its ninth signing for the upcoming season with the addition of Swedish right winger Matilda Sofia Forsberg. This move underscores the club's ambition to maintain its strong presence in the Champions League. Forsberg's arrival from Gloria Bistrița, where she has showcased her talent, is seen as a significant boost to the team's offensive capabilities. Her speed and knack for scoring from difficult angles are expected to complement the existing squad.

Forsberg herself expressed great enthusiasm for her move to CSM București, citing the club's history and winning mentality as key factors in her decision. She highlighted the passion for handball in Romania and her desire to contribute to the team's success. Her integration into the team will be further strengthened by the presence of two Swedish national teammates already on the roster, Tyra Axner and Jenny Carlson. This strategic recruitment reflects CSM București's commitment to building a formidable team capable of competing at the highest level in European handball.

“

I am very happy that I can continue my handball journey in Romania. In general, I am impressed by the dedication, energy and passion that Romanians show for handball, the game they love. When I was approached by Bojana (Popovic) and the team at CSM, I felt very honored and privileged - considering CSM's history and victories over the years. Moreover, I grew up with the Swedish mentality of 'doing my best in all situations' (developing as an individual and adding energy to my team), but with the atmosphere of being part of a winning culture and promoting it. I look forward to achieving many things with Bojana, the rest of the CSM București management, my new teammates, to achieve the goals we have set for the coming seasons, to share our success, to bring love and joy to our fans.

From a Romanian perspective, this transfer signifies not only the club's continued investment in top talent but also the attractiveness of the Romanian league for international players. Forsberg's comments about the passion of Romanian fans and the overall handball culture here are a testament to the sport's standing in the country. This signing is a clear signal that CSM București is not resting on its laurels after reaching the Final Four, but is actively strengthening its squad to pursue further glory.

We are happy about Matilda's arrival in our team and we are confident that her potential and sports qualities will contribute to achieving the team's goals. We welcome her and wish her much success in the CSM București jersey!
