🗞️ The first half of 2026 has been full of exciting activities, workshops, festivals, and inspiring Street Handball events around the world.

We kicked off the year with the first news from Nepal, Zambia, and Denmark.

Soon after, we celebrated the first World Street Handball Days, with participants from Malawi, Pakistan, and Zambia, bringing children and communities together through fun, friendship, and Fair Play.

Later, Dawda from Street Handball Gambia welcomed the women’s team from Kvaglund IF (Denmark) for a memorable visit that strengthened international friendships through handball and Street Handball.

The 2nd World Street Handball Days united nine countries: Ukraine, Kenya, Bangladesh, Zambia, Japan, Gambia, Nepal, Malawi, and Denmark. It was fantastic to see so many communities celebrating Street Handball at the same time.

We also announced and promoted the upcoming Street Handball Festival in Yokohama, Japan, taking place this September. Our founder, Søren, is scheduled to visit Japan and looks forward to meeting the Street Handball community there.

The 3rd World Street Handball Days continued the momentum with events in Pakistan, Malawi, Japan, Bangladesh, and Denmark.

We are also excited to announce that the 4th World Street Handball Days will take place on Saturday, 8 August and Sunday, 9 August 2026. Once again, communities around the world will celebrate Street Handball together, and we hope you will join us!

Another important milestone was strengthening our work in Zambia. We welcomed Joseph Daka as our new Street Handball Project Manager and Fair Play Coach, working alongside the experienced Nathan Mwitwa. Together with the Zikomo Project, they successfully hosted several fantastic Street Handball events this year even in Kenya and Malawi, helping the movement continue to grow.

We also shared new articles and videos from two Street Handball workshops held in Denmark during 2025 by Street Handball Denmark and Bramming IF Håndbold at Fourfeldtskolen and Bryndum Skole, providing even more inspiration for schools and clubs.

More recently, we have published new stories from Denmark, including the annual Street Handball Festival at Bramming Culture Evening and a Street Handball Workshop with UngEsbjerg’s International 9th and 10th Grade. See the news below! ⬇️

As we look ahead, we’re also excited to celebrate a very special milestone: Street Handball turns 20 years old on October 1, 2026! 🎉

What started as a simple idea in 2006 has grown into a global movement that connects people through friendship, Fair Play, and the joy of playing together. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this amazing journey.
