We wish all athletes a successful and fair tournament and the spectators exciting and captivating games," said Christoph Schmidt, Head of Brand Marketing, LinkedIn DACH.

Events like the IHF Men’s World Championship continue to attract more and more interest and with another partner joining us, we are looking forward to a successful IHF Men's World Championship in January and a fantastic IHF Women's World Championship in November and December,” said Dr Hassan Moustafa, the President of the IHF.
