One year and countingIt was on 17 November 1991 that the foundations of the European Handball Federation were laid at the first EHF Congress held in Berlin, Germany. Now 24 years later the federation is looking forward to both celebrating both its 25 anniversary and also the hosting of the 25th EHF Congress.
