SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 9, 2025 – Fans of elite European handball have more to cheer for this season than just world-class play. A brand-new, limited-edition ball has been unveiled ahead of the EHF FINAL4 Women 2025—and it’s more than just eye-catching. Celebrating a decade-long partnership between EHF Marketing and SELECT Sport, the latest handball is not only designed for peak performance but also leads the way in sustainability, making it a win for both sport and the environment.
A Ball Worth Celebrating
The newly revealed handball will make its on-court debut at the EHF FINAL4 Women 2025 on May 31 and will be featured throughout the 2025/26 EHF Champions League season. But what truly sets this ball apart isn't just its sleek look or commemorative design—it’s what’s inside that counts.
For the first time in EHF Champions League history, the official match ball is made using 41% recycled materials, with recycled PET bottles used in the polyurethane. This marks a major step toward greener sporting goods without compromising on quality.
Peter Knap, CEO of SELECT Sport, shared his excitement: "We are very happy to celebrate 10 years of collaboration with the EHF Marketing. We are proud that we are going into the 10th season as the Official Ball supplier of the EHF Marketing — and we are looking forward to continuing our great partnership and enjoying many more exciting handball games together."
A Partnership That Delivers
Since 2016/17, SELECT Sport has been the trusted name behind the ball in the EHF Champions League and EHF European League. Over the years, both the competitions and the ball itself have evolved significantly, setting new standards for quality, design, and now sustainability.
David Szlezak, Managing Director of EHF Marketing, highlighted the value of the relationship: “Next to the main protagonists on the court, the players, handballs are an essential part of the game, and we are happy to have a partner like SELECT, with whom we are developing the European club competitions. The 10-season long partnership with SELECT Sport is something we are very proud of and happy to celebrate.”
