Proger is new main sponsor of the Italian national handball team

Proger and the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Handball (FIGH) are proud to announce the signing of a partnership agreement that will make Proger the main sponsor of the Italian men's and women's national teams for the four-year period 2025-2028.

Proger has already been present on the shirts of the national team during the friendly matches between Croatia and Switzerland in the last few days, and will be at the side of the Azzurri in particular from 14th January, when Italy make their World Championship debut against Tunisia at the Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning (Denmark).

The deal was signed by FIGH President Stefano Podini and Proger President Umberto Sgambati.

FIGH President Stefano Podini: "The signing of this agreement is a source of great satisfaction for the Federation and the Italian handball movement. The fact that a leading company like Proger has chosen our sport should make us proud and give us a further push in a direction aimed at growth and continuous improvement. I would like to thank the president of Proger, Umberto Sgambati, a former national team player and a great handball enthusiast, for believing in our project and in the values of a federation that is looking to the future with great ambition and drive, projecting a European dimension and experiencing a period of renewed enthusiasm and dynamism thanks to the results of its national teams. I would also like to thank those within the confederation who have worked alongside me to make this union a reality, in particular Team Leader Franco Chionchio and Deputy Vice-President Massimiliano Bardini. The government that I have the honour to lead is committed to attracting new stakeholders and realities every day, who are willing to believe in Italian handball, in its potential and its values. Growing is our imperative and we are happy and proud to be able to do so by creating a common path with Proger".

Proger President Umberto Sgambati: "Handball is a dynamic and spectacular sport in which individual skills are of great importance, but above all the organisation of team play: discipline and respect for the rules, combined with imagination and creativity"; strength and power, but also lightness and flexibility. Values that are completely homologous to those of a general engineering company like Proger: and the national handball team, just like us, competes on the international arena to express the best of the skills and ambitions of our country's talents".

In addition to the visibility associated with the Azzurri jersey and the men's and women's national team matches, Proger, as main sponsor, will be present during the activities organised at 'La Casa della Pallamano' in Chieti and during the most important federal events such as the Italian Cup finals, Supercoppa Day and the Handball Festival.
