The ASOBAL league is the top division in Spanish handball . It is played according to the rules of the EHF ; 16 teams are currently participating in it. In a league system, the Spanish champions , the relegated players and the participants in the European Cup competitions are played out.
The record champions are FC Barcelona .
history
The highest Spanish league in this form was founded in 1959, at that time under the name División de Honor (in German: "Ehrendivision"). Before that, the Primera División Nacional existed as the highest division , but it was played more according to cup rules. In 1990 the División de Honor was renamed Liga ASOBAL . ASOBAL stands for Asociación de Clubes de Balonmano de España (in German: "Association of Spanish handball clubs").
regulate
Each team plays twice against each other team, once at home and once away. As a result, the ASOBAL league has 30 match days. After 15 match days have been completed, there is a winter break (during which world or European championships usually take place).
A team receives 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 points for a defeat. After all match days are the champions:
- the team that has scored the most points
- in the event of a tie between two teams, the team that won the direct comparison
- in the event of a tie between more than 2 teams or a draw in a direct comparison, the team that has the better goal difference.
International significance and subjective comparison with the German league
Together with the German 1st handball league , the ASOBAL league was considered the strongest handball league in the world for years. There was a clear difference in performance between the European Cup participants and the other teams: While the European Cup participants were among the best in the world and were at least equal to the German top teams, the lower Spanish teams were usually further away from the top than the corresponding German teams. Due to the economic crisis, many Spanish clubs have major financial problems, which culminated in the withdrawal of Atlético Madrid, the second absolute world-class team next to FC Barcelona, from ASOBAL. Barcelona currently dominates the league without any significant competition, without a loss point and with an average goal difference of around +15 per game (as of February 2014). The audience in Spain is nowhere near as high as in Germany, a reason for some top players not to play in the ASOBAL league (for example Lars Krogh Jeppesen when he switched from FC Barcelona to THW Kiel ). The German handball Bundesliga is also seen as physically more strenuous and unfair, a reason for other top players (such as Ivano Balić or Nenad Peruničić ) to play and stay in Spain. However, Balić faced the Bundesliga challenge in 2013/14 and hired him from HSG Wetzlar. In addition, the ASOBAL league focuses more on the individual skills of the individual players and less on tactics and the collective, which is particularly useful for Southeastern European players who have been trained according to the traditional Yugoslav school; Scandinavian players, in whose training more emphasis was placed on team cohesion, are less likely to get along with this style of play. In the EHF Champions League , both leagues are currently about equally strong, in the past nine years Spanish teams have won the title five times and German teams four times. The second highest European competition, the EHF Cup , has been won 17 times by German teams in the past twenty years (as of the end of the 2018/19 season).
