Last Saturday, during the Lotto Cup Finals, Handball Belgium officially launched an ambitious fair play campaign, supported by the National Lottery. The initiative aims to strengthen the core values of handball: respect, responsibility, inclusion, and positive behaviour—both on and off the field.

Through the 3FFF programme — Fair Support, Fair Teams, Fair Clubs — all stakeholders in the sport (players, coaches, referees, supporters, and clubs) are encouraged to actively contribute to a safe, respectful, and inspiring sporting environment.

Over the coming months, the campaign will be rolled out through concrete actions and initiatives across the country.

Together, let’s show what handball truly stands for. Fair play makes our sport stronger.
