Házená Kynžvart (Czech pronunciation: [ˈha:zena: ˈkɪnʒvart]), a section of TJ Sokol Lázně Kynžvart, is a professional women's handball club from Lázně Kynžvart, Czech Republic. Since the 2021–22 season, they compete in the MOL Liga, the top tier women's handball league in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Until 2017, Kynžvart played on various indoor and outdoor pitches, mainly on the grounds of the local elementary school. When a new multifunctional sports hall (Sportovní hala Milana Prokeše[1]) has been opened in Lázně Kynžvart in 2018, the club moved most of its activities there.
Nevertheless, the new sports hall has a low capacity (350 spectators[2]), it is difficult to place all necessary facilities for organising international matches and perfect TV broadcasting. In addition to that, it was eligible for playing the EHF European Cup only due to a special exempt of the European Handball Federation.
Therefore, since the 2023–24 season, the first team plays almost all of their home matches at the Lokomotiva D-PRODUKT Aréna[3] in the nearby district town of Cheb. For training purposes, all teams keep using the existing sport halls and playgrounds in Lázně Kynžvart.[4]
