Potaissa Turda won the EHF Challenge Cup in 2018, after a final against AEK Athens.

Another reason why Potaissa's early success is not that surprising, can be that the club has more youth squads, around 220 children and young players representing Turda in national competitions.

[1] For the first time in their short history, AHC Potaissa Turda have reached the Challenge Cup finals for the second year running.

After the loss from a year before, against Sporting CP, Turda had the power to come back stronger, winning the first major trophy for the city from Cluj county.

By beating AEK H.C. with 59-49 on aggregate, Potaissa Turda became the fourth team from Romania to ever lift the Challenge Cup, after Steaua Bucharest,[2] UCM Reșița (three times between 2007 and 2009[3]) and HC Odorhei.
