Every year, Handball Planet awards prestigious prizes to the year's best handball players and coaches in the world.

It is a combination of votes from handball fans and an expert jury consisting of journalists from around Europe who decide who will win.

Two days before the WC premiere, Jim Gottfridsson was named the world's best player.

And now national team captain Glenn Solberg receives the award as the world's best coach in 2022. A year in which Sweden won European Championship gold for the first time in 20 years.
