Under the agreement, Point S will gain visibility at the tournament, including a prominent television presence via floor stickers and LED time, as well as logo and title rights.
Fabien Bouquet, group chief executive of Point S, said: “We are delighted to be part of the Women’s EHF Euro 2022 and are proud to count the Point S brand among the official partners of the 15th edition of this prestigious competition.
“I have always admired the values that are demonstrated in sport, and these are often also seen in the world of business. On the court, handball requires an extremely high level of commitment, as well as a strong team spirit.”
The deal was brokered by Infront, the agency acting as the EHF’s chief marketing partner, and DAZN, the international over-the-top sports subscription service, which is the governing body’s media rightsholder.
