The planning of the opening ceremony, on January 13, is up and running. A production team is working with a large number of gymnasts on a specially written performance called "Colors of the World". The show will be about 15 minutes long. It will be a colorful, cheerful, warm and inspiring welcome to all nations.
The work is led by Fredrik Andersson, who has many years of experience from Partille Cup and Gothia Cup.
The opening ceremony will begin with an exclusive pre-match between the former Swedish world champions and the world champions from Göteborg. The selection of the teams are led by Peter Gentzel.
We all welcome you to an spectacular opening ceremony of the 22nd Men's Handball World Championship 2011.
