Member federations to gather in Glasgow for EHF Congress

The eyes of the handball world will be on Glasgow, Scotland from 18 to 20 June as the Scottish Handball Association hosts the 14^th Ordinary EHF Congress.

All 50 member federations and the two associated federations, England and Scotland, will be represented at the first EHF Congress to be organised in the UK.

The Congress will deal with a number of motions from the EHF and member federations and vote on the host nations for the Men’s and Women’s EHF EURO events in 2022 and 2024.

Ahead of the start of the Congress, alongside meetings of the EHF commissions, the EHF Executive Committee will also meet and will decide on the teams participating in the VELUX EHF Champions League and Women’s EHF Champions League in the 2018/19 season.
