With its breathtaking athleticism, gripping intensity, lightning-fast<br />

breaks, and unmatched team spirit, handball is rightly poised to continue<br />

growing in popularity across the world. VELUX Group is looking<br />

forward to sharing this journey with the EHF, and we will continue to<br />

highlight the drive, passion, teamwork and positive values that VELUX<br />

Group shares with the sport. Handball has a great future, and VELUX<br />

Group will be there to share the excitement with the fans.<br />

Michael K. Rasmussen<br />

(Director Marketing VELUX Group)<br />

The world of sports is changing. Old sports disappear and new competitors<br />

are on the rise. Sport becomes an event - a show, and the stars<br />

are highly paid. In order to attract the younger generation, we need to<br />

modernise and simplify our sport. We need a strategic plan on how to<br />

develop handball Europe-wide, which includes ‘emerging nations’ i.e.<br />

England. Hopefully, in a few years we will have a real European league<br />

with top teams from all nations as the flagship and pulling locomotive<br />

of our sport. European top clubs are ready to work in this direction in a<br />

fair partnership together with the EHF!<br />
