Tea Pijević, Ćamila Mičijević and Ana Debelić have all been nominated for the World Female Handball Player 2020 organised by Handball Planet.

32 players, four in each position, have been shortlisted and apart from the World Female Handball Player 2020 award, the Best 8 of Women’s Handball in 2020 will also be selected. 

A jury of handball experts from seven countries, as well as voting from fans across the globe will be used to find the winners.
