Bertrand Roiné (born 17 February 1981) is a French-born Qatari former handball player who played for first the French national team and later for the Qatari national team.[1][2][3] At the 2011 World Championship he won gold medals with France.
National team
Roine played for the French national team from 2005 onwards.[4] He represented them at the 2010 European Men's Handball Championship.[5]
At the 2011 World Championship he won gold medals with 'Les Experts'.[6]
He switched allegiance to Qatar in 2013 and played his first match for the Qatari national team in October 2013.[7] His first tournament with Qatar was the 2014 Asian Championship where Qatar won gold medals.[8]
He was part of the Qatar team that won silver medals at the 2015 World Championship in Qatar, the first World Championship medal for both Qatar and for any Asian team.[2][9] The result was however controversial due to the many naturalized players of Qatar, of which Roiné was one of them.[10][11] According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine, only four of the 17 players in the squad were native to Qatar.[12] The practice was criticised by Austrian goalkeeper after his team's loss to Qatar in the round of 16, saying "It [felt] like playing against a world selection team" and "I think it is not the sense of a world championship."[13] Furthermore there were claims of favourable refereering for the hosts.[14][15][16] After the final whistle of their semifinal against Poland, the Polish players showed their discontent by ironically applauding the three referees.[17][18]
He also represented Qatar at the 2019 World Championship.[19]
Club career
Roiné played for Angers Noyant HB from 1998 to 2004 where he joined Dunkerque HGL. Two years later he joined Chambéry Savoie HB.[1]
in 2012 he signed for Al-Duhail in Qatar.[20] He won the Qatar Handball League in 2013.
He retired in 2021.[21]
