Final Four

Qualified for the Final Four in Nantes :

Goal camera

The EHF tested a new camera system for observing the goal line at the Final Four . The French Handball Federation had the system developed; it uses a wide-angle camera attached to the crossbar.

If necessary, the referees can use a video to check whether the ball has completely crossed the goal line .

A previous version has already been used at international games in France.
