Mathias Gidsel Extends Contract with Füchse Berlin Until 2029

The Danish handball star's decision solidifies the club's ambitions for a first German championship and sends a message to international rivals.

Mathias Gidsel, widely regarded as the best handball player in the world, has extended his contract with Füchse Berlin by an additional year, now running through June 2029.
The 26-year-old Danish Olympian and three-time world champion was already under contract until 2028, but his early extension ends speculation about potential moves to other clubs.
Gidsel, who joined Füchse Berlin in 2022, has been instrumental in the team's success, including setting a league record with 260 field goals last season.
The extension underscores Füchse Berlin's commitment to pursuing their first German championship, a goal Gidsel has openly embraced as part of his motivation to stay.
Club officials, including General Manager Bob Hanning and Sports Director Stefan Kretzschmar, view Gidsel's decision as a mutual pledge to continue the club's development and success on an international level.
