Handball is entering a new era of talent detection and development with “Champions of Tomorrow”, an innovative program launched by Team Chambé and Sportiw. Open to young players worldwide, this project allows anyone, regardless of background or visibility, to apply for the first global handball talent search.
A Pioneering Project at the Intersection of Training and Innovation
With Champions de Demain, Team Chambé combines its historic expertise in player development with cutting-edge technology from Sportiw, the international sports scouting platform active in over 200 countries with more than one million users.
The club, famous for producing handball legends like Daniel Narcisse, Bertrand and Guillaume Gille, and Melvyn Richardson, is the only club in the world to have developed three players crowned best players in the world: Stéphane Stoecklin, Bertrand Gille, and Daniel Narcisse.
Using advanced analytics and artificial intelligence from Sportiw, applications will be evaluated in a fair, objective, and transparent way before the final selection by Team Chambé’s coaching staff
A Clear, Rigorous, and Global Pathway
The program follows a structured process accessible to all:
Global call for applications via the Sportiw platform
