Wanted: The host of the brand-new EHF Finals Men 2021
The inaugural season of the EHF European League Men is approaching its apotheosis: the first edition of the EHF Finals Men is scheduled for 22/23 May 2021.
The EHF Finals Men is the all-new finals tournament that brings together the four best teams of Europe’s revamped second-tier competition.
The quartet will battle it out in a two-day showdown, aiming to become the first champions of the EHF European League Men.
The EHF European League and the EHF Finals Men are building on the legacy of the Men’s EHF Cup and its highly rated annual EHF Cup Finals, though with a new competition format, a new corporate identity, and a new trophy.

The bid is open for participating clubs and their federations but can also be passed on to agencies or arenas that are linked to a club and which are interested in taking over the hosting.

The bidding document has to be submitted to the EHF resp. the EHF Marketing GmbH as the responsible arm of the EHF for the marketing of the event.
