This catalogue provides an overview of the most important disciplinary
actions and penalties applied within the IHF. It further gives assistance in
decision taking for every organ of the IHF. Nevertheless the organs are not
relieved of their obligation to examine the facts of each case, to take
independent decisions and to be impartial in reaching a verdict.
1. Types of penalty imposed during play
The IHF differentiates between the following types of penalty imposed during
play:
a) warning
b) temporary suspensions. The Disciplinary Commission may impose a
suspension lasting up to two years. On application, the Arbitration
Commission may impose longer suspensions
c) administrative penalties and fines
d) cancellation and optionally replaying of matches
e) withdrawal or loss of points in the events concerned
f) exclusion from current or future events.
The above penalties may be imposed individually or in combination.
1.1. Temporary suspensions are imposed, in particular, for:
1.1.1. violent or insulting behaviour towards officials and referees
1.1.2. use of players who are not entitled to play or have been suspended
1.1.3. inappropriate conduct by teams, officials and other persons
involved in the match.
1.2. The following guidelines apply to the imposition of
temporary suspensions:
Offence Recommended suspension
Number of matches
Disqualification (on account of
misconduct towards IHF officials or referees)
1.2.1. Verbal unsportsmanlike conduct without gestures

1.2.2. Verbal unsportsmanlike conduct with gestures
– general 2
– threatening 4
1.2.3. Aggressive unsportsmanlike conduct 4
1.2.4. Assault 6**
1.2.5. Exclusion 6**
When the penalty is determined, the following mitigating
circumstances shall be considered:
– reflex action
– provocation
– assistance
– other special circumstances
When the penalty is determined, the following circumstances
should result in a harsher punishment:
– fighting
– the perpetrator is an official, team captain or substitute
– the offence is directed at people in the substitution area or at
spectators
– other special circumstances (e.g. bringing the IHF into serious
disrepute)
* = A warning may be sufficient in exceptional cases.
** = A temporary suspension shall be imposed for gross or
flagrant misconduct.
Suspensions may only be imposed if the match report contains a note
on the player’s misconduct to this effect by the referees and/or a
special report is made by the senior IHF representative.
Suspensions imposed by the IHF or a continental confederation apply
for the same amount of time to matches organised by the member
federations and continents. The written verdicts must state a
respective note.

fines
1.3.1. For breaches of the regulations and discipline before, during or after
the match: CHF 100.– to CHF 2,000.–

2. Withdrawal/non-appearance of a team
from/at IHF events
2.1. If a continent is unable to take up a place (performance or
compulsory) at an IHF event and is replaced by a team from another
continent or the place remains unoccupied, this continent will lose
this place at the next World Championship of the same category,
and the place will be assigned as a free performance place.
2.2. A federation which registers for an IHF event and subsequently
withdraws will lose its registration fee and fixed deposit and will be
imposed a fine.
If teams withdraw from an IHF event after the draw has been effected,
the federation concerned will be imposed a fine (plus expenses of
organiser). Furthermore the relevant regulations of the continent
federation concerned are applicable. The fines are set as follows.
Category A – CHF 25,000.–

Category C – CHF 5,000.–
Category D – CHF 1,000.–

3. Use of players who have been suspended
and/or are not entitled to play
If a suspended player is used, the team that uses that player is regarded
as having lost the match by at least 10 goals. If the score is higher, the
number of goals will be increased accordingly. The severity of the penalty
will be determined by the Disciplinary Commission and the fine will range
between CHF 300.– and CHF 1,000.–.
If a player who is not entitled to play is used, the team concerned will be
excluded from further participation in the current event. Any other decisions
will be taken by the competition management.
4. Failure to meet payment dates for IHF events
If an federation does not meet the payment date for an IHF event, the
registration fee will be doubled once the date has passed. After a further
four-week time, the federation concerned will be fined a total of CHF 5,000.–
and excluded from the event.
5. Matches against suspended members of the IHF
For unauthorised matches by national and selection teams against
suspended members of the IHF, a fine of up to CHF 1,000.– will be imposed
and the federation responsible will be liable for the payment.
The IHF Council may impose a higher fine if such infringements are repeated.
6. Not passing on a message
For not passing a message on to the IHF Head Office within the specified
period when requested, a fine of CHF 100.– may be imposed on the
defaulting federation. This also applies to messages relating to the times,
locations and results of matches and to messages relating to the engaging
of referees. Such a fine may also be imposed if the information is
incomplete.

7. Late registration of international referees
If an international referee is not registered by the specified registration date,
a late registration fee of CHF 500.– is imposed.
8. Infringement of the Regulations on
Advertising
At IHF events, contravention on the Regulations on Advertising will be
considered and penalised, if appropriate, at the event by the competition
management and at other times by the IHF Council. The corresponding IHF
provisions shall apply.
9. Infringement of the Anti-Doping Regulations
If a doping offence is proven, the match concerned will be regarded as
having been lost by the team with the players concerned and 2 points and
at least 10 goals will be awarded against the team. If the score is higher,
the number of points or goals will be increased accordingly.
The players concerned will be disqualified from all remaining matches of
the tournament. In addition, the players will be suspended from national
and international matches for two years.
If doping offences are proven for more than one player in a team, then the
team will be disqualified from the entire event. The matches already played
will not be counted.
The IHF reserves the right to institute disciplinary proceedings against anyone
who administers drugs. If an infringement of the Anti-Doping Regulations
is proven against officials (coaches, attendants, doctors and physiotherapists),
a two-year suspension will be imposed.
Otherwise the IHF Anti-Doping Regulations apply.
10. Non-payment of a fine
If a fine is not paid within two months of being imposed, it will be doubled
and, if it remains unpaid after a further month, the person concerned may
be excluded from international matches until the fine has been paid.

Upon application by the Executive Committee, the IHF Council may warn
and/or penalise member federations which have infringed or not followed
the IHF Bylaws.

federations at the same time.
The maximum fine is CHF 10,000.– for any act of offence.
