The EHF partners are an integral part of the future of European Handball. The EHF places great importance on the term “partnership” rather than “sponsorship” and strives to work with highly reputable global companies with a respected name on both the sporting and business markets. The emphasis is placed on long-term, deep-rooted, working relationships which power the sport of handball forward. The EHF would like to use this opportunity to thank its partners for their continued support and dedication to European Handball. We are proud to have our name linked to such professional companies.

The “blue and yellow” no line flooring system at the European Championship has become a trademark feature of the events and is recognised world-wide. The EHF has been working with Gerflor since 2004 to provide the European Championships for Men and Women, plus the Younger Age Category, events with a high quality event floor which satisfies the needs of both the athletes and the requirements of a modern top class event.

The distinctive “Champions League colours” of blue lagoon and black will be used to present the event identity.
offical EHF partner and supplier of glue/resin
Dip'n Grip is the officially EHF approved and recommended glue/resin, which has been in use in all European Handball Championships since 2005. It gives the player a better grip on the game and does not cause any allergies on the skin due to the fact that it is free of colophony. Furthermore it can be easily cleaned with a water-based detergent, thus giving all handball courts a better look during a championship.

Rotowash cleaning machines stand for "clever cleaning" of handball floorings especially at EHF Euro Events since 2006. Rotowash is the official EHFsupplier of cleaning machines.
