Two IHF Trophy Africa courses will take place from May 13 to 17, with the Zone II programme taking place in Nouakchott, Mauritania and the lecturer still to be confirmed, and the Zone V course in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia led by Professor Khaled Hammouda. Alain Dessertenne will oversee the IHF Trophy Africa Zone IV course in Yaoundé, Cameroon from May 21 to 25. Finally, Guy Petitgirard will lead the Zone VII course in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

The IHF D Licence Coaching Courses on the card for May will be held in Benin and Kuwait. In Benin, Gilles Malfondet will oversee the course in Cotonou from May 19 to 23.

The first will take place from May 19 to 23, and the second, concluding May’s programme of travelling educational courses, will be on May 26 to 30. The two courses occurring in Kuwait are due to the number of participants expected, with a high level of interest from coaches and physical education teachers in the country.
