Voting for ‘The World Games Team of the Year 2022’ award has opened on Tuesday 10 January.

The all-conquering Croatian men’s beach handball team are one of the candidates for the award, which is presented by the International World Games Association (IWGA) and recognises the ‘Best of the Best’ who competed at The World Games 2022, held in Birmingham, USA, last year.

The nomination is a recognition of their win of the 2022 IHF Men’s Beach Handball World Championship in Heraklion, Greece, in June, the 2022 IWGA World Games in Birmingham, USA, in July and the first stage of the IHF Beach Handball Global Tour, held in Gdansk, Poland, in between.
