The Royal Belgian Handball Federation hereby launches an open call for applications to fill positions within the National Refereeing Board (NRB).
The NRB will be responsible for the strategic direction, ongoing professionalisation, and sustainable development of national refereeing in Belgium. To this end, the federation is seeking committed candidates who are willing to contribute their expertise, vision, and dedication to the advancement of refereeing.
Last Saturday, during the Lotto Cup Finals, Handball Belgium officially launched an ambitious fair play campaign, supported by the National Lottery. The initiative aims to strengthen the core values of handball: respect, responsibility, inclusion, and positive behaviour—both on and off the field.
Through the 3FFF programme — Fair Support, Fair Teams, Fair Clubs — all stakeholders in the sport (players, coaches, referees, supporters, and clubs) are encouraged to actively contribute to a safe, respectful, and inspiring sporting environment.
Over the coming months, the campaign will be rolled out through concrete actions and initiatives across the country.
Together, let’s show what handball truly stands for. Fair play makes our sport stronger.
