The Amapá Handball Federation (FHAP) will be holding, between the 26th and 29th of October, the Pan Amazonian of the sport. The international event will bring together teams from Amapá, Pará and French Guiana and has the support of Macapá City Hall, through the Municipal Department of Sport and Leisure (Semel).
The competition will be for the master category (35+ Women and 42+ Men) and the matches will take place at the Glicério Marques Sports Complex, in the evening. On Saturday (28) the games will be in the afternoon and Sunday (29) in the morning. The winners will receive trophies and medals.
“The teams will arrive on the 26th and so we will start with games for the teams from Amapá. The first game will be between AABB and Independente. We are hoping to have Peru in the competition, but we still need to confirm”said the president of the federation, Kelson Costa.
According to Kelson, the event is a way for new athletes to get to know the older ones and the techniques used, in addition to paying homage to them. “The masters is an event that we increased in the federation this year, it didn’t exist in Amapá. We created this to show future athletes what the sport was like and for them to meet old players. Today handball is a lot of strength and it’s not just that, it’s also technique. Furthermore, we also want to honor these athletes”he said.
The event will rotate and each city or country will host the Pan-Amazonian. The 2024 edition will be in French Guiana and in 2025 in Pará. The expectation is that more teams from other countries will participate in the competition, such as Chile and Argentina, which have already signaled interest.
1st Handball Diary Cup
In 2024, the Amapá Handball Federation intends to hold, for the first time, the Diário Handball Cup. Kelson explains that the entity was already interested in paying homage to the Daily Communication System.
“It’s something we’ve already been talking about at our Federation meetings and we would really like to pay tribute to them. The competition trophy will be named after our dear Luiz Melo and I would like him to give it to the winning team. We intend to hold the event during the radio’s anniversary”added the president.
