Germany Advances to Handball World Cup Main Round After Undefeated Start

The 2025 Handball World Championship, hosted across Denmark, Norway, and Croatia, sees Germany excel in group play, setting up a challenging encounter with reigning champions Denmark.

The 2025 Handball World Championship is the first to be co-hosted by three nations—Denmark, Norway, and Croatia—with 32 teams competing for the title.
Germany topped Group A with victories over Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, securing a spot in the main round of the tournament.
The German team, led by standout performances from goalkeeper David Späth and captain Johannes Golla, has shown strong second-half comebacks in all their matches so far.
Germany will face Denmark, the reigning champions and tournament favorites, in their opening main round match, with Denmark boasting dominant early wins over Algeria and Tunisia.
Criticism of the tournament's eurocentric nature persists, as European teams continue to dominate, while non-European nations struggle to compete at the same level.
