INTERSPORT commits to supporting the FFHandball and promoting both amateur and professional handball

Recognized as a Pillar of Team Sports in France, the French Handball Federation (FFHandball) embodies core values such as teamwork, respect, and performance, principles that perfectly align with INTERSPORT’s commitment for over 100 years.

A Commitment to Amateur and Professional Sports

Through this partnership, INTERSPORT and the FFHandball aim to write a new chapter in the history of handball in France, with a shared commitment to fostering connections with local clubs, providing unique opportunities for enthusiasts, and promoting handball as a sport. Together, INTERSPORT and the FFHandball seek to champion the values and ambitions of handball while strengthening its roots across the country.
