It therefore recognises, in particular, many years’ successful work within an IHF organ and/or a creative impetus for the development of handball.
The Badge of Merit consists of the Council’s insignia with half garland in gold. It is awarded by the Council at the recommendation of the Executive Committee, of the continental federations or of the member federations.
