This new partnership continues Point S’s strong commitment to supporting elite women’s handball. Having sponsored previous editions of the Women’s EHF Euro in 2022, as well as the International Handball Federation’s Women’s World Championships in 2019 and 2023, Point S’s dedication to the sport is well established.
Prominent Brand Presence at All Matches
As an official partner, Point S will enjoy extensive visibility throughout the tournament. The company’s branding will be displayed prominently at all 65 matches, both on the court and in the competition’s official communications. Additionally, Point S will serve as the headline partner of the Top Scorer digital section, further enhancing its presence in the competition.
The partnership is particularly meaningful for Point S, as the company operates over 130 points of sale across the tournament’s host countries—Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland. Fabien Bouquet, CEO of Point S International, highlighted this in his comments, saying, “The host nations of this year’s tournament feel like home to Point S, as our network has a strong presence in Central Europe.”
Point S's Commitment to Women’s Sport
Fabien Bouquet emphasised Point S’s long-term commitment to supporting women’s sports, drawing parallels between the values seen in handball and those encouraged within the Point S network. “The teamwork, dedication, and skill on display at this level of competition are foundations that we encourage in our global network of over 6,300 Point S centres,” he stated.
Bouquet also expressed excitement for the upcoming event: “Our local points of sale are encouraged to get into the spirit of the tournament, and I’m sure our customers will do the same. I would like to wish everyone participating in the tournament the best of luck – may the best team win!”
Handball's Growing Appeal
Martin Hausleitner, Secretary General of the European Handball Federation (EHF), warmly welcomed Point S as a partner of the championship. “Point S’s interest in adding its name as a partner to our flagship national team competition is further evidence of handball’s growing appeal. We are looking forward to working with the network and providing the EHF EURO as a platform to increase its visibility and connect with new audiences.”
With women’s handball continuing to gain popularity, the Women’s EHF Euro 2024 promises to be a highlight of the sporting calendar, and Point S’s involvement is set to play a key role in its success.
