INTRODUCTION

"Handball shall not be limited to age, gender or physical condition! Handball is a sport for all - without any borders!" - Therefore the EHF Methods Commission (EHF MC) has decided to add the topic "Wheelchair Handball" (WhH) to its working areas.
In 2006 the EHF introduced wheelchair handball to its Member Federations on the occasion of the 2006 EHF Youth Conference hosted in Vienna / AUT. In 2008 a first Championship was hosted in Vienna / AUT with 2 teams representing AUT and SWE participating. A seminar was hosted at the same time with international wheelchair handball coaches attending and exchanging their experience.
In the past years there was a growing interest in wheelchair handball not only in Europe but world-wide. Therefore, the EHF decided to host the 2015 European Wheelchair Handball Nations’ Tournament in St. Pölten/AUT. As a result of the general positive feedback of teams, National Federations and media the 2nd edition of this tournament, the 2016 European Wheelchair Handball Nations’ Tournament in Sölvesborg/SWE a year later was successfully completed. To continue the success the 3rd edition of the tournament, the 2018 European Wheelchair Handball Nations’ Tournament will be hosted from 30 November to 2 December in Leiria/POR.
Following the proposal of the EHF Working Group “Wheelchair Handball” (consisting of EHF Methods Commission members as well as further experts in this field) the EHF Methods Commission adapted the EHF Wheelchair Handball rules from the first two editions and is working on Wheelchair Handball Classification Regulations for future events.
