"Dear President,

I wish to express my warm congratulations on the wonderful performance by the Spanish team at the European Championships held in Croatia. Thanks to the nerve, talent and courage of the whole Spanish squad, our national team won, at its fifth attempt in a final of the European Championships, a much deserved gold medal to add to its trophy cabinet.

I would ask that you pass on my congratulations to all the players and the technical staff. Between them all they have made this victory possible for Spanish sport. Against a Swedish team that fought for each ball to try and win its fifth gold medal in this competition, our players made their quality felt, together with their desire to win and their hunger for titles, to once again show that Spain is a force to be reckoned with in world handball.

With my best regards".

Mariano Rajoy Brey
President of the Government
