Würth is an official partner of the 2025 IHF Handball World Championships
The International Handball Federation (IHF) announced Würth as an official partner of the 2025 IHF Handball World Championships for Men and Women. This partnership, brokered by SPORTFIVE, the exclusive marketer of the global media and marketing rights for all IHF World Championships through 2031, will position Würth prominently on the global handball stage, leveraging the sport’s worldwide reach to enhance brand visibility.
The collaboration encompasses both major handball events in 2025: the IHF Men’s World Championship taking place in January across Norway, Denmark, and Croatia, followed by the IHF Women’s World Championship in December in Germany and the Netherlands. This partnership shows Würth’s commitment to supporting handball on a global scale.
Würth will benefit from an extensive package of marketing rights, ensuring broad exposure across both live event settings and global broadcast channels. This includes prominent branding opportunities within the arenas and across key televised moments, enabling Würth to reach millions of fans worldwide and maximize engagement with handball enthusiasts.
