The year 2017 comes slowly to an end and thus, the International Handball Federation would like to extend their best wishes to the handball family for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire IHF family for their outstanding participation over the past 12 months – 12 months which not only saw many exciting and thrilling handball events but have also proven again that the handball world grows closer together. We are looking forward to another successful year for our sport.

Please note that the IHF Head Office will be closed from 23 December 2017 to 1 January 2018.
