Swedes love handball. There are thousands of youth teams fighting the good fight in gyms all over the country and elite handball with its high standards has an enormous following. And most of all we love handball at its best – when the world’s finest meet in a world championship to decide once and for all who is number one.
We have new and modern arenas, great public interest, good infrastructure and a superb geographic location. The conditions are perfect for a handball world championship and an extraordinary public event. In Sweden, handball is both everyday life and a celebration. Here, handball is always close to our hands and hearts.

A handball world championship deserves spectators. A big crowd of spectators. And in order for as many as possible to be able to attend the world championship matches, they must be made convenient. We do this. We want to fill the arenas regardless of the venue, regardless of the teams playing. A handball world championship in Sweden is easy and convenient for everyone actively involved, all sponsors and visitors to get to.

Several great handballing nations can take part in a world championship in Sweden within a convenient distance. It is easy to reach Sweden from Poland, Germany, Denmark or Norway by car or ferry. Flights into the international airports in Copenhagen, Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm are numerous. By crossing the Öresund Bridge, you can reach the Malmö Arena from Copenhagen Airport in a mere 20 minutes.

Most handball halls in Sweden are large and modern, with fantastic opportunities for media, sponsors and spectators. The halls planned for the 2011 World Championship are new, lie in the heart of the cities and are close to shopping, cultural meeting places and fashionable hotels. It is also easy to travel between the planned arenas, which are all located in southern Sweden.
We want to arrange half the matches in Skåne, the southernmost part of Sweden, which is home to most of the elite teams in the country. It takes no more than an hour to travel between the arenas. Closest to continental Europe – a stone’s throw from Copenhagen by bridge – lies Malmö Arena - Europe's most modern arena, which eagerly awaits the chance to play host to the finals of the Swedish 2011 World Championship.
