German financial services company Allianz has agreed a deal to become the official insurer of the French National Handball League (LNH).
The season-long deal will cover the 2016-17 campaign.
As part of the agreement, Allianz will provide insurance for LNH events including the Trophée des Champions, Hand Star Game and Final 4 of the Coupe de la Ligue.
LNH president Philippe Bernat-Salles said: “This arrival confirms the substantial work done by the LNH and its clubs in recent years, work that contributes to increase the attractiveness of our events and competitions while developing services for professional handball players.”
Allianz already holds partnerships with a number of LNH clubs.
