The Series was built by bringing three complementary partners under one roof: Parallax Experience, the team behind Cyprus’s long-running 3×3 Basketball Series, contributed event production and branding expertise; Amathusia Beach Handball brought local tournament experience from Larnaca and Limassol; and Cyprus Handball Club contributed its grassroots network and passion for growing the sport.
Together, under the auspices of the Cyprus Handball Federation, they secured a place on the official EHF calendar – giving matches real stakes, with teams competing for European ranking points on the road to the EHF Champions Cup. The debut edition was staged July 3-5 at Limassol’s Municipal Sporting Center for Beach Sports, launched as a pilot ahead of planned expansion across the island.
THE RESULTS
- 20+ teams
- 100+ players
- 1,000+ on-site spectators
- 300,000+ online views
In one debut edition, the Series proved Cyprus could host a competitive, EHF-recognized event with real international draw — turning a public beach into a legitimate stop on Europe’s handball map, with a clear path to scale island-wide.
