The President of the German Handball Federation (DHB) Ulrich Strombach set up the following demands in SPORTBILD 4/10:

– Reduction of the number of teams in TOYOTA Handball-Bundesliga

– Reduction of the number of teams in EHF Champions League

– Re-scheduling of World- and European Championships from January to summer

– Abolition of the European Championship in the Olympic years

– A bigger share of the revenues of the International Handball Federations for the National federations

According to Strombach the boycott of World Championships is possible, but not the target. ‘An own world series would be an alternative’.  GB
