“Over the past five years, the presence of handball in the media has changed dramatically. We restored the existing interest of the audience. Today you can often see handball at the federal MatchTV and themed channels. The ratings are very promising. The foundation of two Moscow handball clubs, men’s and women’s CSKA, is our great achievement. We revived handball in the capital, where there is great potential. The Handball Development Program in Russia for 2017-2024 set up on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation has become a great step forward. We are proud of our athletes’ performances in the Russian and international arena, rejoice in their victories!”.

“In order to create a strong national team, to restore its world prestige and earn leading tournaments medals we have to let Russian clubs truly compete with each other…We have to rely on those who is ready to support development of this glorious sport in Russia”.
