Fantastične vijesti za hrvatski rukomet ponovno stižu iz Austrije te još jednom potvrđuju važnost i vrijednost hrvatskih predstavnika u europskom rukometu. Na 17. Kongresu Europske rukometne federacije (EHF – a), održanom u Andauu, izabrani su novi članovi Izvršnog odbora, Komisija i Vijeća EHF – a. Posebna nam je čast što je hrvatski rukomet te rad hrvatskih stručnjaka i djelatnika prepoznat u samom vrhu europskog rukometa.
U ime Hrvatskog rukometnog saveza (HRS – a), Kongresu su prisustvovali: Zoran Gobac, dopredsjednik HRS – a; Damir Poljak, glavni tajnik HRS – a; dr.sc. Lidija Bojić – Ćaćić koja je izabrana kao članica Metodske komisije EHF – a za Grassrots & development te Tomislav Lukić, voditelj natjecanja mlađih dobnih skupina za rukometaše.
U izboru Vijeća EHF – a, Matea Horvat izabrana je kao dopredsjednica Arbitražnog vijeća, dok je Domagoj Grahovac izabran kao član Žalbenog suda EHF – a.
Mandat svih novoizabranih članova je na razdoblje od 2025. – 2029. godine.
Ovo je veliko priznanje hrvatskom rukometu i još jedna potvrda da ugled naših stručnjaka u europskim rukometnim strukturama raste iz godine u godinu. Također, to je potvrda dugogodišnjeg rada i truda čelnih ljudi Saveza čiji je doprinos prepoznat na najvišoj razini. Čestitamo svim novoizabranim predstavnicima; Lidiji Bojić – Ćaćić, Matei Horvat i Domagoju Grahovcu, te im želimo puno uspjeha u daljnjem radu!
