FOREWORD

Dear Readers,

In the last years the handball game has become faster, the
technique has become more elaborated and tactical aspects have
become more diversified - this progress makes us very happy and
proud. Handball is a modern high-speed game that fascinates
more and more spectators and fans all over the world.

But these new and very positive developments also pose new
challenges for referees in game-specific understanding, rules
application, team work and personal fitness. That’s why I con-
sidered it particularly necessary that referees can absolutely focus
on their tasks in these complex and rapidly changing game situa-
tions. Therefore already some time ago we have released our
referees from tasks such as having to record goals and time penalties and from monitoring the play-
ing time, and transferred these duties to our technical delegates at the judges’ table instead. And by
implementing the application of head sets we have significantly improved the communication of
referees among each other.

On the other hand also the tasks of our technical delegates before, during and after the game have
become more diversified and challenging. A fundamental task of technical delegates is to support
and relieve the referees as much as possible. This e.g. especially applies for the supervision and
observation of substitution and coaching areas.

By providing this information brochure and the additional educational video, the International
Handball Federation wants to support the technical delegates in their efforts to show professional
performances at international top events. At the judges’ table a clear division of tasks should guaran-
tee a competent and professional performance and all parties involved should know which action is
required in each situation.

The present guide is the basis of the IHF training courses, where technical delegates can obtain an
IHF certificate.

I am convinced that this new IHF educational materials present valuable guidelines for our IHF
delegates.

Dr Hassan Moustafa

IHF President

After the end of the match the IHF Offi-

cial has to indicate these unforeseeable
circumstances in the match report and to
prepare the official report to the Compe-
tition Management before signing the

3.9 Headset
Basically the headset serves the referees
as a communication tool among each
other. Communications between referee
and technical delegate will only be started
from the part of the referee on a regular
basis. Only on rare occasions and only if
the match is interrupted, the technical
delegate can begin a communication via
headset, if a serious problem exists.
In the last 10 seconds of the game the
technical delegate supports the referees
by counting the last ten seconds down via
headset.
