In cooperation with the Polish Handball Federation, we bring you the finals of the European Beach Tour for men and women from 31 May to 3 June 2018; the 2018 ebt Finals are the culmination of the 15th European Beach Tour season that began on 1 October 2016 and concluded on 30 September 2017.
Among the twenty four teams (12 women’s and 12 men’s) participating, we welcome the return of the two teams who won the last event in Gaeta – Detono Zagreb from Croatia in the men’s competition and Club Balonmano Playa Algeciras from Spain in the women’s competition – who will be in Stare Jablonki to defend their respective titles. Moreover, with two wild card places in each competition, this is shaping up to be an exciting and unmissable tournament!
