3. Facilitating Transfers to Japan
Recommending and supporting European players, coaches, and staff in their transition to and success within the Japanese handball scene.
“We are delighted to collaborate with the Japan Handball Association in this important step toward a more connected handball world. By opening new opportunities for Japanese and European players alike, we are helping to raise the overall level of the sport and encourage mutual growth,” said Andrej Golic, EHAA Representative.
“This partnership goes beyond player transfers – it’s about building long-term relationships, fostering international understanding and strengthening handball as a global sport,” added Marko Boskovic, Managing Director of EHAA.
