Handball Manager

🤾‍♀️ Handball Manager puts you in charge of a women's handball club, from the summer transfer window to the last match of the season, and then the season after that. You choose the squad, set the tactics, sign the players and answer to the board. Every other club in the world is doing the same thing at the same time.

🌍 23 COUNTRIES, REAL SQUADS 253 clubs and around 4,800 players with their real 2025/26 squads, positions, birthdates and shirt numbers, across Romania, Hungary, France, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Sweden, Türkiye, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Serbia, Austria, North Macedonia, Portugal, Greece, the Netherlands and Iceland.

Each country plays its real competitions in their real formats: play-offs and play-outs, split tables that carry points, best-of-three and best-of-five series, two-legged ties, cup final fours and supercups, 60 competitions in all. Every league plays its whole season whether you are watching it or not.

🏆 THREE EUROPEAN COMPETITIONS The EHF Champions League, the EHF European League with its real qualifying rounds, and the EHF European Cup. Places are decided the way the EHF decides them, by each country's coefficient ranking over three seasons. Results in Europe move your country up or down the ranking, and with it the number of clubs it sends next year. European weeks bring the competition's colours to the whole game, with an intro film before your first tie.

🎮 WATCH EVERY MATCH ON A 2D COURT Your matches are played live on a 2D court. Each player moves, passes, shoots and defends according to her own attributes. Pace and stamina decide who gets back in defence, finishing and composure decide where a shot goes, and a keeper's reflexes and reach decide whether she gets to it. The opposition coach reacts to the score as a real one does. From the bench you can: • change tempo, attack focus, defensive system (6-0, 5-1, 3-2-1 or man-marking) and aggression • make substitutions, or let the bench rotate tired players for you • call time-outs, and pull the goalkeeper for a seventh court player • name who takes a seven-metre, and which keeper faces one Watch at 1× or speed up to 32×, which still slows down to replay the key moments. You can also follow the match as text, or skip straight to the result.

📅 HOW THE SEASON WORKS The game moves one day at a time. Players train, recover and pick up injuries. Fitness carries from one match to the next, so a congested week has to be managed with rotation. Two-minute suspensions, seven-metre throws, passive play and extra time are all part of the match. Your players have morale, a captain and the playing time you promised them, and a player left on the bench too long will ask to leave.

🏟️ BUILD THE CLUB • Transfers and contract negotiations. Players weigh your club, your offer and their own form • A transfer list, for the players you are ready to sell • Scouting, youth intake and player development • Training and youth facilities, wages, ticket sales, prize money and a full finance summary • A complete honours history for every club in the game

💼 YOUR MANAGER CAREER You are a coach, not just a club. Study for coaching licences from Level 1 to IHF Master, earn a wage, and keep a board happy that grades you every month against what a club of your size should achieve. Fall short for too long and you are sacked. Then it is the job market across all 23 countries, and whichever club will have you.

💾 Three save slots, and the game is free to play with ads. A one-time purchase removes them for good.
