IHF website offers new content and new design

Date: 7/17/2010

A movie classic starring the great Charlie Chaplin is called "Modern Times“.

Of course, the International Handball Federation (IHF) doesn’t want to refuse "modern times“ either. Far from it! The International Federation’s task is to recognize the writing on the wall and to lead the way. That’s why the IHF has decided to keep up with the times by relaunching its website.
