The Awards – for both women and men – will honour the best players of the 2023/24 season in European handball, naming a team of the season for both men and women. The vote includes seven nominees in each playing position: goalkeeper, left wing, left back, centre back, right back, right wing and line player as well as defender.
The seven playing positions and the defender for women and men can be voted for in the ‘Home of Handball’ app until the end of Sunday, 23 June (23:59 CEST). Players, coaches, selected media as well as fans can participate in the vote with each group’s votes accounting for 25% of the overall result for every position.
Each category has seven nominees – players selected based on their national team and club performance throughout the 2023/24 season, by two top-level expert panels. On the women’s side, the panel includes former star players Siraba Dembélé and Eduarda Amorim, as well as Norwegian coach Bent Dahl; for the men, the panel consists of former standout players Víctor Tomás and Vid Kavticnik, and Germany men’s national team coach Alfred Gislason.
