A simple idea, developed over several years, four European nations sharing the same passion… that’s all it took to create Euro Hand 4 All, the first and only European Wheelchair Hand tournament organized in France.
The final whistle still resounds from the success of the 2022 edition. Inclusion, commitment, competitiveness, diversity, solidarity, sharing… are all key qualities of the event. In 2023, the four original nations are joined by their European neighbours. Six national teams will compete in 2023, and eight are expected in 2024.
Beyond the sporting challenge, Euro Hand 4 All aims at a much greater goal of being included as a team sport at the Paralympic Games.
By participating in this tournament, the athletes will aim to make their discipline shine on the international scene and to gain the recognition it deserves.
For the 3rd year running, the Euro Hand 4 All was held in Écully, and it was just as exceptional!
13 matches were held over 3 days, pitting 6 nations against each other:
Portugal, winners of EH4A 2023
Spain, 2nd in the EH4A 2023
France, 3rd at EH4A 2023
the Netherlands, participating for the first time
Hungary, first time participant
Norway, 3rd at the 2022 World and European 6-a-side Wheelchair Handball Championships.
At the same time, fun sessions to raise awareness of disabled sport were organised for children from Ecully schools.
A second edition crowned with success, that gives us wings for the future!
