Swedish media company Sportway has acquired the media rights to Handbollsligan Women and Handbollsligan Men. The ambition is to build a stronger and broader presence for Swedish elite handball. All matches will continue to be broadcast.
– We are very pleased to partner with an organisation that shares our ambition of making top-level Swedish handball available to as wide an audience as possible, says Peter Gentzel, CEO of Svensk Elithandboll.
All matches will be broadcast
The new partnership is currently in its initial phase, and further details regarding exactly where and how the matches will be packaged and distributed will be announced in the coming weeks.
What is already clear, however, is that every Handbollsligan match will continue to be produced and broadcast, just as before.
– We have great confidence in Swedish handball. There is significant interest in the sport, as demonstrated by the viewing figures for the Swedish national teams and the Swedish Championship playoffs. Handbollsligan is a strong media property that we are very much looking forward to developing together with the Swedish handball community, says William Personne, Country Manager for Sweden and Denmark at Sportway.
