The Korean handball national team has begun training again to create a new legend.

The Korea Handball Federation announced, "We have finalized the roster for the men's and women's national teams in preparation for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. The teams entered the Jincheon training village on the 11th and have begun intensive training."

The Seon Bal-doen (CEO) team is composed of a preliminary roster of 18 men, while the __NAME_1__ team consists of 21 women.

The national teams will continue to review and adjust player composition through phased training and evaluations, with the final 16-player roster for the Asian Games to be confirmed by the end of August.

The Nam Ja (CEO) team is led by head coach Cho Young-shin (Phenix, Army), and the Yeo Ja (CEO) team is led by head coach Lee Gye-cheong (Samcheok City Hall). The Handball Federation emphasized, "Focusing on improving team cohesion and performance based on a systematic training roadmap."

The men's and women's rosters include Lee Yo-seop (Incheon City Corporation) and Kang Eun-hye (SK Suga Gliders), who led Shinhan SOL Bank to the 2025-26 H-League championship. Top-tier players from the league were evenly selected, adding stability to the team's strength.

The Yeo Ja (CEO) team is centered around Lee Yeon-kyung (Samcheok City Hall), with Park Sae-young (Samcheok City Hall) and Woo Bit-na (Seoul City Hall) forming the core. The Nam Ja (CEO) team also plans to boost team cohesion centered on Park Jae-yong (Hanam City Hall) and Park Se-woong (SK Hawks).

The Nam Nyeo (CEO) team began phased intensive training at the Jincheon training village starting with the first roster call on the 11th. The Yeo Ja (CEO) team is scheduled to conduct five training sessions, including overseas training camps, through September. The Nam Ja (CEO) team will also implement a phased program including overseas training in Europe.

Both teams plan to depart for Nagoya on September 17 after finalizing the 16th-player Asian Games roster by the end of August.

The Korea Handball Federation stated, "This Asian Games is a key stage to reclaim Asia's top spot and a major tournament that will determine the direction of Korean handball. We will gather all our strength to prove our competitiveness."
