As MESGO enters a new cycle, the European Handball Federation is proud to have supported several candidates through this integral academic step in modern sports management. It is not only the programme’s core theoretical and practical elements – finance, law, media and management – that attract high-level sport administrators and managers to MESGO, it is also the certainty that it is an exemplary education that will boost participants’ future career prospects. As we continue to support the candidates’ success, the European Handball Federation remains a proud partner of the MESGO programme.

MESGO is an opportunity for modern sports executives to gain in-depth firsthand experience of the inner workings of professional sports management. Its strength lies in its diversity: people working in different sports come together to learn through sharing and analysing their various experiences. This gives them all an insight into different approaches by different sports in different situations. Educating our people about how to respond to the challenges of modern sport is essential and sport stands to benefit from the MESGO programme.
