OPPORTUNITY PLAYERS – A PARTNERSHIP FOR GROWTH

Belgian Handball is proud to partner with Opportunity Players, an organisation committed to creating real opportunities for young talents through sport and education.

This partnership reflects our shared belief in the power of sport as a tool for personal and social development. Together, we aim to support young handball players in their journey—both on and off the court—by investing in their growth, confidence, and future potential.

Through joint initiatives, visibility at key events like the Cup Final, and inspiring role models, we want to make a lasting impact on the next generation of athletes. Because talent deserves a chance.

INCLUSIVE HANDBALL IN BELGIUM

With support from the National Lottery, Handball Belgium launched a project in 2023 to promote equality and inclusion in handball. Key 2024 achievements include:

  • Increased female participation (Hand2Girls & Hand4Girls)
  • Black Arrows joined 2026 Euro qualifiers
  • New U14 talent program in five regions
  • Improved media coverage for women’s handball

Though the project has ended, Handball Belgium remains committed to fostering a more inclusive handball future. A big thank you to the National Lottery for making this possible!
