On 30.5.2010 at 14:22 hours Tor Lian, President of European Handball Federation (EHF), M. Wiederer, General Secretary of EHF, Tomaz Jersic, President of FORUM CLUB HANDBALL (FCH) and Joan Marin President of GROUP CLUB HANDBALL EEIG (GCH) signed the ‘Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)’ which in the future will serve as basis for cooperation between Top European Professional Handball Clubs and EHF.

‘This is a milestone in the relation between clubs and EHF’ said the FCH President, not denying the hard work which had to be done through the last years. ‘All European Top Clubs will benefit from the agreement in terms of compensation for release of players, insurance, representation and calendar questions’.

FCH is now recognized by EHF and therefore are an integral part of the Handball family.

As a consequence the GCH complaint lodged with the European Commission was withdrawn today.   

In a first FCH action President Jersic offered support to International Handball Federation (IHF) in all questions regarding professional handball. GB
