Germany Defeats Brazil in Handball Test Match Ahead of World Championship

The German team overcame early struggles to secure a 32:25 victory, showcasing potential but highlighting areas for improvement before the tournament begins.

Germany's handball team defeated Brazil 32:25 in a preparatory match in Flensburg, following a strong second-half performance after a tied first half (13:13).
Renars Uscins, Marko Grgic, and Lukas Zerbe led the team in scoring, each contributing four goals to the victory.
Captain Johannes Golla emphasized the team's positive morale and readiness, citing a strong foundation built during a successful year, including their Olympic silver medal performance.
National coach Alfred Gislason rested first-choice goalkeeper Andreas Wolff, who recently became a father, while Joel Birlehm's performance could impact his inclusion in the final tournament roster.
Germany will face Brazil again in a final warm-up match on Saturday before traveling to Denmark to begin their World Championship campaign against Poland next Wednesday.
