HC Alkaloid was founded in 2021 with a clear and strategic goal: to provide young handball talents in Macedonia with the right direction and a genuine opportunity for growth, both on and off the court. Driven by the values of professionalism, integrity, and structured work, our mission is to shape top-level players with strong life values.
Our team of handball professionals delivers a high-quality, modern training program focused on the individual progress of every player. We believe that proper education, selection, and consistent support are the foundation for building future generations that will carry Macedonian handball forward.
The club’s vision is straightforward: to reach and promote the highest European standards in club operations, to foster modern handball, and to raise the level of play to new heights. Macedonia has long been known for its handball talent and our mission is to develop the next generation of Macedonian handball stars through innovative training and dedicated work.
In its debut season in the First League, HC Alkaloid secured immediate placement in the Super League (2022/23), and Macedonian handball legend Kiril Lazarov took the helm as head coach.
That same year, we launched HC Multi Essence – a team of young, up-and-coming players with national team potential. This squad also earned a Super League berth and continued to cultivate rising stars.
A professional approach and methodical work brought results right away – in its first-ever Super League campaign, HC Alkaloid finished as vice-champions of Macedonia and clinched a spot in the EHF European League.
The 2023/24 season marked HC Alkaloid’s first run on the international stage, competing in the EHF European League group phase, where the club earned its first away point and celebrated its first win in an official European match. Just one season later (2024/25), the club entered the EHF European Cup, successfully navigating six knockout rounds and lifting the championship trophy – the first Macedonian club to ever win this prestigious competition.
Both HC Alkaloid and HC Multi Essence boast a well-developed youth system, with hundreds of young handball players training and competing in six teams across three age categories: pioneers (U14), cadets (U16), and juniors (U18).
Our vision remains crystal clear: to keep investing in Macedonian talent, to grow a modern and successful handball club, and to develop the future champions who will carry the Macedonian flag across the European and world handball stage.
