Latvian chairman Bičevskis: EHF decision is spit in the face of handball players and community!

The President of Latvian Handball Federation (LHF) Mārtiņš Bičevskis expressed his feelings after the decision of the European Handball Federation (EHF), which “erased” the Qualification’s process for the IHF World Championship 2021 in Egypt and Women’s EHF EURO 2020. 

“I am absolutely shocked by the EHF’s decision, which was in principle taken without discussion. We believe it is a spit in the face of handball players and the handball community in many countries. Despite the enormous challenges posed by the coronavirus, this decision is not fair-play.” An example is the Olympic Games, which were canceled, first and foremost, both for the sake of the virus, for the health of athletes, and to maintain fair principles in qualifications, so we will invite as many countries as possible to comment on this issue. all the theoretical possibilities that would allow the national teams to fight for the opportunity to participate in the World Cup – said Latvian chairman.
