Hi,I am planning to go on world champion 2025 in Croatia. I am disability person with electric scooter. Will there be disability tickets like on football euro24 or how everyone buys normal? Thanks in advance.
Mine is 6: my team had the right Back, right wing, playmaker and the line player and the opponent had the right back and right wing.
I thought this was like a once in a lifetime event, since most of the teams i used to play played with a right-handed right back and sometimes did not have lefties at all

Hello i want to train handball as goalkeeper im 163 cm and 63 kg 16 years old is it to late to train.
I just moved to Barcelona and I'm looking for a club to play handball. I’m originally from Turkey, I'm 23, and I'm a medium-level player. I don't know how handball leagues operate here. How can I find a club for training and possibly play some matches?
Hey guys im new to handball and just got on a team,we train outdoors, in this exact field, what budget shoes do you recommend ?

I am the captain of my college handball team. From our recent matches, i realized that we are terrible at defense. So I tried searching online for some drills or practice strategies, but none of them were defense specific. I need tips, methods or strategies which i can employ to improve the team's overall defense.
I'm in a high school with a sports program and this is my first year in high school, he saw me in better training and with potential, I'm training with the big guys now but I'm afraid to join them or to throw at the gate. Now I play wing because I am not at their level, what advice do you recommend I am 15 years old and they are from 16 to 18 and I don't want to hit them or argue.
I’m 24m currently living in the US. I’m still kind of new to handball as I’ve only been playing for a few months at this point. My biggest area for improvement is obviously my defense, as I have a tendency of committing penalties and fouls that’d be 2 min suspensions. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for defense? Or any drills I can do to improve it?
I have been analysing a few goalkeepers who aren't super tall to model my game a bit more after them. What I noticed is that Palicka quite often uses a jumping defense while sprinting forwards when someone gets a throw from 6 Meters. Wouldn't a lob be pretty much a free goal for most people, as they are taller than Palicka anyways and as Palicka is in the air already there is no way for him to properly react, or am I just underestimating how high Palicka jumps?
Do you know anyone who wants to sell their tickets for the 2025 final? In a legal way, please.

Hi there! Can anybody help me to create a German vocabulary regards to handball? I bearly found something online and the translators are giving not the quite same meaning. How they call 1 to 1 hacks? Or when the player is not shooting, instead drops the ball? Or When the GK gives a long throw (ball reach the player at the other side of the pitch)? I appreciate everything what came into your mind!
Hi, i am relatively new goalkeeper , can anyone give a a in depth guide? Any tips are welcome . I am struggling with
High 9m shots: i really need help with this, i don't know what to do, i already tried different things like adding more steps or fast sidestep but always to short or to slow. i need in depth help with technique what to do,
For 6m, i have been told to come out close to attacker, most of time they shoot at the side of their shooting arm, should try to save that part or should leave a space open and save that part
2.5 on what type of shots from 6m should i jump ? Also what is the good timing to jump?
Anyy tips are welcome please 🤗
Hi,
I know the EHF (European Handball Federation) keeps rankings denoting the best and worst club leagues across the continent, but unlike UEFA, I can't find the up-to-date list on their website. Does anyone know of an easy place where I can find this information?
So, I'm a day on from playing my first game as a GK (we lost 34-20), and, while I'm pleased with many of the saves I made, there are a couple of things that I feel could really help. I know I'm decent at stopping shots from the wings, and if I could just improve my wrist strength, I'd also be pretty good at stopping +9m shots (a number of the 34 goals yesterday were such shots that I got a hand to but couldn't stop). The ones that puzzle me are 6m central shots and penalties (7m). I know it's hard to stop those shots, and the attacker will always be the favourite in those situations, but what are some of the tricks goalkeepers can use to stop those shots?
Hello! I’m a young gk in a low league in Sweden. I want to improve my performance and be able to take harder shots without feeling as much pain. Sometimes I feel really disappointed in myself after a game and I hate it! I feel like I made the team lose and I start to hate myself for it. Can someone please give me tips on how to save more and take harder shots on me? I really need help.
Hello! I’m a goalkeeper in a lower league in southern Sweden. I want to pass further for example when one of my teammates is free far up or just further passes/ shots. I can almost barely pass to the middle line and it makes me feel weak and I hate it. Also when I do make a good pass for example it feels like the pass was too weak and that the person receiving it has to slow down a bit. Can you guys please help me or give me tips on how to shoot further/ harder? Or like a tip on how to train myself to shoot better? Please help.
I recently started handball (3 months) and i usually play left back, but recently got moved to left wing. However, I seem to struggle especially scoring on offense unless i switch to left back. Anyone has any tips for left wing on def/off?
Hello, I’ve wanted to ask for some advice on how to improve my shooting power. I play left back, I’m 190cm tall and I have around 90kgs. I’ve been playing handball since I was 15/16. Never really cared about my shooting because I always prefered 1v1 duels. I met a guy who comes to training and he has a cannon in his hand and he’s 16 years old. So my question is that mostly genetics or he’s stronger or what? If someone can take their time to give me some workouts to actually improve my shooting I would be thankful.
this year is my second year as professional player last year i was in the lower division in my country (Tunisia) and this year i play in the higher division im a good defender but i SUCK as an attacker (im a left back) my attacking statistics are getting WORSE AND WORSE comparing to the recent seasons i can no longer win 1v1s.. sometimes when i try to win the duel i make shameful technical faults so i became scared whenever i attack.. i used to be one of the greatest 9m shooters .. now i can t even hold a ball correctly.. can t even make a correct pass that s so shameful i even used to play in the junior national team.. now im the weakest in my team i feel like they re better off without me.. and i ve been thinking to end my career because of the bad turn that it took
So im a beginner line player and dont know What shoes to get, hope someone can help.
What would you say, was it 'just' Red, was it blue? What would be justified in your opinion?
Hello! I have a problem related to arm pain, about from the elbow to the shoulder mostly in the elbow and shoulder I have this pain. I am a handball player, at first. I would like some advice to help me because of this pain, as far as the coaches told me, I don't lift my arm up and I don't throw correctly, if you can help me with throwing the ball and get rid of the pain, I would be very happy. Sorry for bad English
Im turning 18 this december,
i signed my first ever contract with the club last september and i was confident that i want to stay and try me best,
a month later i want to leave.
the original plan was to finish my last year of school in 2026 and move to another club. But i might move sooner to my town rivals.
what is happening:
Along side me a line player, right wing player, and a left back signed a contract along side me. (all younger than me)
Fast forward a month later my coach is putting the left back to play my postion (left wing)
he dosent give me chances to improve my self and always sets me off to the side to watch as i see everyone else get told what to do and get chances to prove themselfs.
i feel like im not improving as a player and i feel like im wasting my potentional rotting on the bench during training.
and im stuck in a dilema if i want to leave for the town rivals or stay here.
TL:DR; i feel like im wasting my talent somewhere where i dont even have the chance to train properly and want to leave for the town rivals but i am scared that i will end up disrespectful to my boyhood club that thought me everything.
