Handball: how to partner with the Experts and major competitions
Nicknamed "the Experts", the French men's handball team ranks among the most decorated national sides in history. The men's World Championship is held every two years, and interest grows as Les Bleus progress through the draw. For a sponsor, the key is to be ready before the knockout stages.
Levels of involvement
- French Handball Federation: association with the French men's and women's teams, with rights negotiated over several seasons.
- Starligue clubs: visibility in the arena and on the jersey, hospitality on match nights, strong regional roots.
- Events: international competitions hosted in France, warm-up tournaments, public-facing operations.
- Ambassadors: current or former international players for your content and internal events.
Why handball appeals to brands
Handball conveys team spirit, commitment and accessibility, values highly sought after for employer branding and internal communication. It is an indoor sport, which makes visibility easier to control (boards, court, screens) and guests easier to host. In terms of timing, allow several months of talks for a federation deal; an agreement with a club can be closed faster, ideally before the new season starts.
Frequently asked questions
Is a club partnership right for a local business?
Often, yes. A top-flight club offers a loyal following, hospitality evenings for your clients and regular coverage in the regional press.
How can we benefit from a competition played abroad?
Through activation in France: screening nights, content with ambassadors, commercial offers tied to Les Bleus' matches, all while respecting official rights.
What criteria should we use to judge profitability?
Set your own objectives from the outset: regional awareness, employee engagement, prospects met in hospitality, promotional sales. Results are assessed against these targets.
