PAPHOS, Cyprus and COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., USA — August 10, 2026
Rehband, a global leader in premium sports supports and performance protection, and USA Team Handball (USATH), the national governing body for the Olympic discipline of team handball in the United States, today announced a new multi-year partnership focused on athlete performance, protection and the continued growth of handball across the country. USA Team Handball is the USOPC-recognized national governing body for the sport.
Team handball is a fast, physical and highly dynamic sport requiring explosive acceleration, jumping, rapid changes of direction and frequent player contact. Those demands make athlete protection and support particularly important and create a natural connection between USA Team Handball and Rehband's expertise in performance-driven sports protection.
“Handball demands strength, speed, mobility and resilience from athletes, making it a natural fit for Rehband. We are proud to partner with USA Team Handball and support its athletes with products designed to help them move with confidence and perform at their highest level. With the momentum building around handball in the United States and LA28 on the horizon, this is an especially exciting time to become part of the sport’s growth.”
said Hagen Carlos Heublein, Head of Global Business Development at Rehband.
The partnership comes during an important period for USA Team Handball as the organization continues to strengthen its national team programs, athlete development pipeline and grassroots participation leading toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Supporting the development, visibility and long-term sustainability of handball in the United States — including the national teams' pathway toward LA28 — is a central objective of the partnership.
USA Team Handball has also been expanding its athlete development programs and international competition opportunities as it builds toward LA28 and beyond.
As part of the partnership, Rehband and USA Team Handball will collaborate on athlete support, brand visibility and promotional opportunities. The organizations may also work together on community engagement initiatives, athlete-focused content, product promotions and potential co-branded products designed to connect Rehband with the growing U.S. handball community.
The multi-year relationship extends through 2028 and reflects a shared commitment to creating a stronger performance environment for U.S. athletes while increasing participation, awareness and visibility for team handball throughout the United States.
“Rehband has always believed that the right support can give athletes the confidence to push further. We look forward to working alongside USA Team Handball, supporting its national teams and helping introduce more athletes and fans to this exciting sport.”
added Heublein.
