Swisstools supports young athletes
Swisstools is committed to developing sport and supports local and national sports associations. As part of this new sports partnership, Swisstools France has chosen to support a local handball club: Arve Giffre Handball in Haute-Savoie.
An ambitious local club
The Arve Giffre Handball Club (AGH) is a 1901 association that aims to develop and practise competitive handball in the Arve and Giffre valleys. The club unites four communes in Haute-Savoie: Taninges, Cluses, Marignier and Bonneville.
What is the club’s project?
The Dronninglund Cup 2025 in Denmark
This year, the AGH club decided to take on a new challenge: to take part in an international handball tournament, the Dronninglund Cup 2025. For their first participation, the under-15 boys’ and under-18 girls’ and boys’ teams signed up. This represents 41 participants, 33 youngsters and 6 supervisors, who will be travelling to the north of Denmark to fly the club’s colours across the border.
From 06 to 11 July 2025, 244 teams, both boys’ and girls’, will take to the field. With over 5,000 participants, 16 nations will be present, including Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Brazil and the United States. France will be represented by 9 clubs.
It’s a challenge for the teams.
An international experience for all!
This tournament gives these young handball players the chance to represent France at the opening ceremony, experience a cross-cultural environment by meeting teams from around the globe and develop their language skills through their passion for handball.
Swisstools is delighted to have played a part in making this project a reality, and to be helping the teams to spread the values of handball across borders: commitment, solidarity, fighting spirit and respect. Promoting the practice of sport and participating in the development of team projects are part of our company’s dynamic approach to innovation and collaboration. Sport is a source of inspiration for our employees and a vehicle for Swisstools’ values.
With the tournament just a few days away, we wish the girls’ and boys’ teams from the Arve Giffre Handball Club a safe journey and good luck. All Swisstools employees are cheering with one voice.
