Trafford HC Compete at Partille Cup in Sweden

Taking Manchester Handball to the World Stage

In 2022, Trafford Handball Club made history by sending two teams to the Partille Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden — one of the world’s largest and most prestigious youth handball tournaments.

A Life-Changing Experience

For many of our young players, this was their first international sporting experience. Competing against teams from across Europe, our players gained invaluable experience on and off the court.

IK Savehof Partnership

As part of the trip, Trafford HC established a cooperation agreement with IK Savehof, the Swedish club behind the Partille Cup. This partnership opens up future development opportunities and international exchanges for our players and coaches.

Building International Pathways

The Partille Cup experience demonstrates the Handball Foundation’s commitment to providing pathways beyond local and national competition. We believe our young players deserve the chance to test themselves on the world stage.
