About us
What was formerly known as the BENE-League has been renamed the Super Handball League since 2024. With our payoff, “Breaking Boundaries,” we embody the core values and ambitions of the Super Handball League. This slogan represents our determination to break boundaries, both in sports and socially. We aim to transcend the borders between countries and clubs, as well as the traditional perceptions and expectations of handball. “Breaking Boundaries” symbolizes our ambition to reach new heights, both on and off the field, and our role as pioneers in the handball world.
