The Secretary-General of the Handball Federation, Nabil Ashour, revealed the approval of the game's federation for the Dibba Al-Hisn club team to join the Handball League, to be the newcomer, the 11th team, which will compete in next season's championships. Ashour told "Emirates Today": "The great interest and support from the board of directors of Dibba Al-Hisn, and the desire to establish a handball team for men, was one of the encouraging factors in giving the game association approval to join the club list for this age group, to become the 11th team , After competitions in the 2019-2020 edition were limited to 10 teams only. "
He explained: The experience of Maliha Club, which is a new team this season, confirmed that handball is going in the right direction to restore its luster, especially since the joining of Dibba Al-Hisn will reach us to the largest number of men's teams, over the past fifteen years.
He added: The current game association is counted as the great effort in terms of increasing the spread of the game, and will continue its efforts to return the game to its golden age, especially since Emirati handball had previously played in the seventies and eighties of the last century, with great intensity, in a league held for first and second class clubs.
Ashour concluded by saying: The success of the Dibba Al-Hisn team looked forward to its new experience, in light of the concerted efforts of clubs and federations to provide the best for the game, which will in turn, and positively affect the teams.
