7 field players — New tactical possibilities | Rule explanation | IHF Education Centre

This allows for new tactical possibilities Ramón Gallego (IHF-PRC) explains in detail in the video. The examples shown in the video demonstrate both advantages and risks in the application of this additional substitution possibility.
