With hummel entering as a main sponsor of The International Handball Federation – and the World Championships – it is hummel’s honour to reward the Player of The Match-award after each game. But instead of just rewarding a classic gift such as a watch, a statuette or a traditional diploma, hummel and the IHF have chosen to go new ways.
At the 2019 IHF Men’s World Championships each Player of The Match will receive the privilege of passing the sport of handball on to less fortunate children. By winning the Player of The Match-award the given player will be donating hummel handball apparel and handball equipment to a youth handball team that normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to play handball.
The equipment will be passed on to Partille Cup – the World’s largest youth handball tournament. Here the apparel will be distributed via Partille Cup’s so-called “We Care”-program that helps less fortunate children and teams to participate in the tournament and share the game of handball. All in all hummel will end up donating handball equipment for 1.152 children.
In the image below you can see which team has donated the most - by winning the most POTM-awards. The image will be updated during the whole tournament.
