Poland as the host of the European Handball Championship 2016
Poland will be the host of the European Handball Championship in 2016. The decision was taken on Saturday in Monte Carlo. Joanna Mucha, the Minister of Sport and Tourism, personally supported the Polish project during the debate.
– I am extremely happy that another international-rank event will take place in Poland – said the Minister. – In 2013, together with Denmark, we will be the hosts of the European Men’s Handball Championship, we will organise the World’s Championship in that sport discipline in the following year, and in 2016 we will be the hosts of the European Handball Championship. This shows that international organisations appreciate Poland as one of the best organisers of sports events – concluded Joanna Mucha.
The participants of European Men’s Handball Championship in 2016 will be hosted by Katowice, Kraków, Łódź and Gdańsk and Sopot. The Polish project was chosen over the Croatian and Norwegian ones.
