Personal:

Abou began playing handball in 2010 with Toulouse. He played every position, starting at Right Wing, until he settled in at Left Back when he began playing with the Senior Team. Surprisingly enough, handball is not Abou’s favorite sport, it is a tie between basketball and American football. Abou enjoys playing video games, especially sports related games. Abou also likes to take some time to read books.
