Brief Explanation

The 2015 Men's Handball World Championship will be taking place in Qatar. How can we drive people to go buy tickets to watch the games when handball is barely known in Qatar and the region compared to other sports (football, basketball, tennis, etc…)? To address this issue, we introduced 'The Handball Heads'. This created very high interest among people to get tickets to watch the games, as well as big awareness for Handball and the Championship.
