Dear Handball Friends,

The Men's World Championship in Croatia has been fantastically organized - thanks to everyone involved in this event. It was really a great festival for handball where everyone gave the best they could give; players, trainers, officials, doctors, referees - as well as the organizers.

I'd like to convey my deep appreciation for all people who participated and helped to make this event the best ever held. Special thanks go to the IHF partners and sponsors who were available during the event and encouraged us to fulfill our mission.

I'd like to thank also the organizing committee for this devoted effort, which was the main catalyst of success. Special thanks to the championship volunteers who were available all the time to help the participants of the championship.

I can't miss to convey my deep appreciation for our continental presidents for their ongoing collaboration with the IHF. Thanks to our players for their outstanding performance and high technique. And, of course, the spectators. They made this event a memorable experience.

Thank you all, see you in Sweden!
