The Great Britain Men's national handball team is the national handball team of United Kingdom and is controlled by the British Handball Association.

Formed in 1969,[2] the team took part in international competitions from 1972 to 1984 and has recently been reformed with the aim of taking part in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which it is automatically qualified for as the host.[3]

Current

In the 2008-09 season, all the team players were signed with clubs on the European continent, with the exception of Omar Sani, who played in Egypt.

A special arrangement with insolvent German Handball-Bundesliga side TUSEM Essen provided the side with a number of players after most first-team players had left the club.

To further the development of its players, it also operated the British Handball Development academy in Denmark.[4]
