NEW! HIGHLIGHT MATCHES
This year, Lundaspelen raises the pulse even higher. On December 27–28, we introduce Highlight Matches – handball at its most intense.
Selected F13 and P14 teams step onto the court at Sparbanken Skåne Arena, playing in front of a full crowd with player walk-ins, announcers, lights, sound and an atmosphere just like the elite leagues.
With the Highlight Matches, we want to give young players the opportunity to experience what it’s like to play in an international environment, feel the pressure from the stands and get a glimpse of what the future of handball can be. At the same time, we aim to fill the arena with visiting teams and local supporters, offer something extra during the tournament days and create memories for life – for players, spectators and the entire Lundaspelen community.
After the match, interviews await in the Fan Corner, along with cameras and cheers, just like in the major leagues. Everything is shared on Lundaspelen’s social media channels.
This is more than a match. It’s an experience. It’s handball that stays with you.
