Olaf Nolden (born April 28, 1969 ) is a handball lobbyist from Cologne.

In 2001, VfL Gummersbach relocated a Bundesliga game to the newly opened Kölnarena for the first time . The opponent was the THW Kiel . The television broadcasters could not decide to broadcast this event nationwide, which was a record number of viewers for club handball games at the time. Only the Cologne window of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk broadcast the game live and in full length.

In view of this, Nolden decided to do something for the wider spread of handball on German television. His website "More handball on television" was ultimately a great success and actually helped handball to gain a significantly increased presence in this medium. As a result, Nolden and handballimfernsehen.de focused on providing an overview of handball dates in handball, including: a. with a weekly newsletter.

The IG Handball , a merger with z. B. the news portal handball-world.com , where Olaf Nolden was one of two (honorary) editors-in-chief alongside Christian Ciemalla until the summer of 2007 , as well as the discussion forum handballecke.de. On December 13, 2007 Nolden ended his engagement for his side "Handball on TV". However, it continues to be operated and is now being looked after by Felix Buß.
