With only the EHF Finals Men in Flensburg and the TruckScout24 EHF FINAL4 in Cologne left to play, nominations have been closed and the male candidates for the EHF Excellence Awards have been chosen.
__PRESENT
The Awards – for both men and women – honour the best players in each position: Best goalkeeper, left wing, left back, centre back, right back, right wing and line player plus best defender and rookie of the season.
The seven playing positions and the best defender can be voted for, and 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.
From the seven playing positions and the best defender a season MVP, the Player of the Year, will be selected. The best beach handball athletes receive a dedicated award, ensuring an additional aspect of European handball is covered.
