PARTNER STATEMENTS<br />

Through the fortunate support of the City of Vienna and the Austrian<br />

Olympic Committee, in 1991, the EHF succeeded in bringing the<br />

seat of the organisation to Vienna. Through the work of the European<br />

Handball Federation, handball has developed enormously both in<br />

public perception and quality in recent years. Through the presentation<br />

of our sport at European Championships or the Champions<br />

League Final4, the EHF managed to establish handball as a premium<br />

European sport. We all wish a successful future for our sport of<br />

handball.<br />

Gerhard Hofbauer (President Österreichischer Handballbund)<br />

The European Handball Federation has led the way in promoting handball<br />

to a global audience. We have seen handball audience numbers<br />

continue to grow with increasing levels of engagement. Over the last<br />

years MP & Silva managed to involve new broadcaster and consolidate<br />

the number of more traditional broadcast partners, all resulting into a<br />

significant year on year increases in the number of hours showing the<br />

sport across multiple territories. MP & Silva is proud of its strong relationship<br />

with the European Handball Federation and looks forward to<br />

strengthening this partnership with the view to taking the distribution<br />

and the awareness of European handball events to the next level.<br />

The future looks immensely positive for handball and its fans.<br />

Roberto Dalmiglio (Managing Director Europe MP & Silva)<br />
