The Super Cup in Nürnberg last night was the first highlight of the upcoming handball season, which starts this week in Germany: The perhaps strongest league in the world will start this evening and with the first duel of two Austrian national team players the upcoming weekend: Viktor Szilagyi (VfL Gummersbach) vs. Patrick Fölser (HSG Düsseldorf).

The EURO 2010 sales booth has been one of the highlights for the German handball fans, beneath the surprising 35:28-success of the Hamburger SV against THW Kiel: Germany is crazy about handball, not only about the German League, but also about the European Championships in the neighboring country Austria: almost daily ticket orders are going in from Germany, for the preliminary and the main round in Innsbruck as well as for the semifinals and finals in Vienna. Last night the Euro 2010 programm in the Nürnberg Hall was one of the highlights: EURO 2010 tickets were drawn as a perfect promotion for the European Handball Championships (19. to January 31, 2010). In addition, the mascot "Magic" was introduced to the 8,000 fans as well as information brochures distributed. "We were literally overwhelmed," said Markus Burger, EURO 2010 Innsbruck Regional Manager.
