Last November the Handball Federation of Russia and the Chinese Handball Association announced the signing of the memorandum on strategic partnership.
The Chinese team Fenix, based in Moscow, will play in the new season of the Russian women’s Championship.
— In fact, it is the national team of China. We really hope that our assistance in their preparation, where Evgeny Vasilievich Trefilov and the coaches of our national teams Lyudmila Bodniyeva and Velimir Petkovich are involved in, will allow China to challenge for victory in the Asian competitions, through which they will be able to go to the Olympic Games.
Such level of cooperation and support of the Chinese players creates an opportunity to proceed to the next stage — the establishment of the Far Eastern handball League. China, Japan and South Korea are the countries with rapidly developing handball. Such a format will allow us to register the clubs of Primorsky, Zabaykalsky and Khabarovsk regions to the Far Eastern League within a year, — TASS quotes the words of the HFR head Sergey Shishkarev.
