It has been a great honour for us to accompany and support the EHF for<br />
25 years of development and growth. Jointly, we have delivered both<br />
spectacular sports moments and strong commercial success. And the<br />
future looks equally promising: European handball is on the right path<br />
to master digital opportunities, access new markets and engage more<br />
and more fans around the world. Handball, its teams and stories build<br />
an essential part of the European sports landscape, and Infront will<br />
cease no effort to further strengthen the position and impact of the EHF<br />
flagship events going forward. Our Infront and broader Wanda Sports<br />
team truly lives and breathes handball – sharing the passion of our EHF<br />
colleagues for the sport.<br />
Philippe Blatter<br />
(President & CEO Infront Sports & Media AG)<br />
Aristotle said “the secret of being able to, lies in wanting to”…in all my<br />
positions as a player, and on the other side of the court, I have met so<br />
many people who are really willing to work for our beloved sport. The<br />
future of handball will be a bright one. Our social interaction is currently<br />
undergoing a radical change towards a digital transformation; thus<br />
sport in general and handball need to adapt to this new situation and its<br />
demands. But, the basis of successful handball will always stay the same:<br />
contribute to your team and experience the great power of moving together<br />
in the same direction.<br />
David Szlezak (Managing Director EHF Marketing GmbH)<br />
Founded in 1991 with more or less only one person in an office with a<br />
desk and a chair, the EHF made a tremendous development in the last<br />
25 years. EHF and EHFM pushed the European Championships and the<br />
Champions League to an extraordinary level, and established a high<br />
professional administration in Vienna. I am convinced that the European<br />
handball family will master the challenges of the next 25 years and<br />
improve the status of handball in a changing society and media world.<br />
