The Turgutlu representative, who impressed with his performance in the organization held between 7-12 July, gained significant momentum on the way to the championship by winning all 6 matches he played during the tournament. Elit Genç Akademi Sports Club, which faced Batman Provincial Mixed Team in the final match, defeated its opponent with a different score of 46-21 and took the Turkish Championship cup to its museum. The success of the little handball players, who prepared for the tournament under the management of Coach Engin Abatay and showed a superior game against their opponents, was welcomed with great joy in Turgutlu and Manisa. Coach Atabay said, "This championship is the result of our children's months of devoted activities and belief. They did not just play handball on the field throughout the tournament; they also demonstrated their discipline, friendship and never-giving-up character. This great success they achieved at this age is an indication that they will leave their mark on Turkish handball in the future. I would like to thank everyone who believed in us, especially my athletes; we are very happy to make Turgutlu experience this pride." - MANISA
