On behalf of the International Handball Federation and its President, Dr Hassan Moustafa, we extend our warmest congratulations and heartfelt greetings to the entire global handball family on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

This joyous celebration, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, is a time of profound gratitude and togetherness, values that resonate deeply not only within our faith communities, but within the spirit of sport itself. It is a moment to honour the bonds that unite us and to celebrate the shared humanity that lies at the heart of everything we do.

To all those observing this blessed occasion, we wish you and your loved ones a celebration filled with peace, happiness, warmth and love. May this Eid bring renewed strength and purpose to each one of you, and may the joy of this day be a source of light and inspiration that carries you through the remainder of this year and beyond.

Eid is, above all, a time of generosity and sharing, the same spirit that the IHF continues its work each and every day. Through handball, we share moments of genuine human connection. We share the triumphs and the challenges, the laughter on the court and the lessons learned from competition. We share a common belief that sport, when practiced with integrity and respect, has the power to build bridges and foster understanding.

May this day also be a reminder for sharing. It is our hope that we continue to share unique and inspiring handball moments together, as we strive to work towards a better and peaceful world through sports.
