Since launching the Premium Cup in 2024, what started as a bold pre-season concept has evolved into a fixed highlight on the European handball calendar. In 2026, we proudly enter the third edition — continuing our trajectory of elevating the standard year after year.

On 15 & 16 August 2026, Nordhorn once again becomes the stage for elite international handball.

GRANDSLAM and HSG Nordhorn-Lingen welcome true powerhouses of the sport: Füchse Berlin, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and, of course, hosts HSG Nordhorn-Lingen. A line-up built on Champions League pedigree, global star power, and competitive edge.

The Premium Cup is no longer just a preparation tournament — it is a premium showcase where Europe’s best collide, brands activate at the highest level, and fans experience world-class handball up close.

​

Every edition levels up.
Every edition sharpens the edge.
Every edition becomes more premium.

The summer of 2025, GRANDSLAM once again proved why it is at the forefront of staging premium international handball events. Paris Saint-Germain Handball – one of the world’s most iconic teams – lit up Baden-Württemberg with two exclusive pre-season matches that attracted more than 8,000 fans across two days.
 

PSG faced Rhein-Neckar Löwen in the impressive SNP Dome in Heidelberg, delivering top-level action to a sold-out crowd. The tour continued as PSG battled Frisch Auf Göppingen in the state-of-the-art ratiopharm Arena in Ulm, once again playing in front of thousands of passionate fans.

The Barça Academy Handball Camps are the official sports camps of FC Barcelona worldwide. They are an exclusive opportunity for youngsters to learn the methodologies of the unique Barça style in football, basketball, handball and futsal. From 2025, GRANDSLAM has become official licensee for the Barça Academy Handball Camps in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
