Germany Announces Squad for March Handball European Championship Qualifiers

Coach Alfred Gislason emphasizes a stable core while introducing young talents for matches against Austria in March.

The German national handball team has unveiled its 18-player roster for the European Championship qualifiers against Austria on March 13 and 15.
Coach Alfred Gislason has called up Tim Freihöfer, a 22-year-old debutant from Füchse Berlin, as a new option for the left wing position.
Veteran players, including captain Johannes Golla, playmaker Juri Knorr, and goalkeeper Andreas Wolff, remain central to the team’s strategy.
Jannik Kohlbacher, who missed recent games due to injury, returns to the lineup as a key player for the upcoming matches.
Germany previously secured strong victories against Switzerland and Turkey in November, positioning them well in the qualification campaign for the 2026 European Championship.
