Germany Advances to Handball World Championship Hauptrunde with Perfect Record

The German team faces defending champion Denmark next in a rematch of the 2024 Olympic final.

Germany completed the preliminary round of the 2025 Handball World Championship undefeated, securing victories against Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.
The team, led by standout performances from Juri Knorr and goalkeeper David Späth, enters the Hauptrunde as group leaders with four points carried forward.
Germany's first Hauptrunde match is against Denmark, the reigning world champions, who have remained unbeaten in 31 consecutive World Championship games since 2017.
The tournament, hosted across Denmark, Norway, and Croatia, marks the first time a Handball World Championship is held in three countries.
Germany's progression to the knockout stage depends on their results against Denmark, Italy, and Tunisia, with the top two teams from each Hauptrunde group advancing to the quarterfinals.
