The Court of Handball has released its decision in a case opened against the Spanish Handball Federation following the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification match between Spain and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

A fine of 5,000€ is imposed on the Spanish federation for an infringement of the advertising set-up regulations. In addition to the authorised first row, a second row of advertising was affixed on the short sides of the court.

This violated in particular Article 27 and followings of the EHF EURO Qualification Regulations. 2,000€ of the fine are imposed on a suspended basis with a probation period of two years as of the date of the present decision.

An appeal may be filed with the Court of Appeal within seven days.
