“We are convinced that with SPORTFIVE we have the right partner for the upcoming challenges to our site and to be able to expand the digital marketing in particular.

“The World Championships in 2017 and 2019 as events offer us a range of possibilities.”

“We are excited to continue our successful partnership with the German Handball Federation long term,” said Philipp Hasenbein, Managing Director of SPORTFIVE.

“Together with the DHB, we also want to set new standards in the coming years in marketing and developing the handball teams of men and women as trademarks.”
