Spanish handball league developments

Overview

In early July 2026 the Royal Spanish Handball Federation published the full fixture list for the 2026‑27 División de Honor Plata Femenina, a 56‑team schedule starting on 4 October across four regional groups. Shortly thereafter clubs named new head coaches. Club Balonmano Herencia appointed José Ramón Beldad to lead its senior women’s side in the Primera Nacional, while Confía Base Oviedo moved to secure Pablo Galech for its men’s División de Honor Plata team. On 14 July 2026 the club confirmed Galech, a 27‑year‑old Navarre native who had been an assistant at Anaitasuna and worked with the Slovak national team. Galech expressed his enthusiasm, saying he was “very happy, excited and especially grateful to the club for the opportunity to lead the team this campaign.” By the end of July, Confía Base Oviedo kept strengthening its squad, confirming veteran centre back Javi Sanz as its thirteenth signing for the 2026‑27 season. The 29‑year‑old, now in his fourth year with the club, praised the chance to work under coach Galech and joined other retained players such as Juan Gamallo and Jayro Pérez, while newcomers Fabricio de Souza, Pablo González and Lucas Santos also joined the roster. These moves illustrate the federation and clubs preparing for the upcoming second‑tier handball season in Spain.
