A lot of small things are happening around the WCh cities now – exciting details that clearly shows that we are very close to the championship.

There are more city dressing items coming up every day. The volounteers are getting their clothes. A lot of things are arriving to the arenas.

Getting closer.

24 days to go now and a lot of things arrives to the WCh HQ in Malmö.

All the official match balls from Select, for instance.

And the first 100 cartons with clothing for the volunteers. There is much more to come.

Goal!

Written by Ola Richardsson, Fri Dec 17 2010

Here's a short movie from the WCh cities Linköping and Norrköping that we just have to show you.

The theme is that there is a lot of goals in handball and that this is one of the things that people love about the sport. People in Linköping and Norrköping are invited to a 'goal-party' in January.

It's close now.

We don't wanna wait anymore.

Come on, Santa! Get it over with!

We are waiting for the real party!

Official WCh song – released tonight

Written by Karolina Berg, Wed Dec 08 2010

Today is an important day – the official WCh 2011 song will be released during World Cup in Malmö Arena. Who the artist behind the song is, has been secret until tonight. During the break in the match between Sweden and Denmark the artist will introduce himself on the playing court. If you want to see it live, you should come to Malmö Arena!

We asked our friends on our Facebook page (facebook.com/handball2011) what kind of music they want to hear at the arenas during the WCh 2011.  We got many of reponses and ideas from all over the world. Many voted for music from ABBA, Queen and AC/DC. A group that  many people seem to like is U2, and Bono sure has a great voice for the big arenas. Some different requests are Black Eyed Peas, Gorillaz, David Guetta and so on.. And of course songs like "Sweet Caroline" was requsted"...

Counting down

Written by Ola Richardsson, Sun Nov 28 2010

And the large portal is counting down to Christmas?

Nope.

The clock in the City of Malmö is counting down to something much more important.

Today is a special day for many people in Sweden. It's First Sunday of Advent and the stores in the cities are open, there are lights and candles and kind of cozy.

The word Advent means "arrival", and we are really waiting... for Karabatic, Balic, Kim Andersson, Palmarsson, Lijewski, Hansen, Løke...
