With the participation of 32 teams, the World Handball Championship (in Poland and Sweden) promises great displays and great sports moments. From the opening game against Poland, the French handball team will be in the race to try to win the World Cup for the 7th time after being eliminated in the semi-finals in 2021.
The Blues are among the favorites and will try to follow Denmark. Poland, co-hosting the tournament with Sweden, is the first team to stand in their way in the opening game.
The tournament takes place in different phases: a preliminary round, a main round and a final phase. The new set-up of the Handball World Championship means that players have more rest between matches, which should translate into top performances from all teams.
The 2023 World Handball Championship will therefore be a sporting event not to be missed. Handball fans will not want to miss this match, which promises great moments of sport and excitement!
