Sweden in the Handball World Cup 2019

The World Handball Championship for Men 2019 is played in Denmark and Germany right now.

Handball is my old sport which I played on a high, semiprofessional level as young. It is also my favourite sport. A tough game.

After the group games there are twelve teams left invtwo pools. Group A: France, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Brasil and Iceland. Group B: Denmarl, Sweden, Norway, Egypt and Tunisia.

The two best teams from each group will play semifinals later this week.

Sweden is together with France the two mist successful countries with four Wirld Cup titles each. Hiwever, France has dominsted the fame the last decade. Also European Champions Spain, Germany, Denmark, Croatia are very good. And Norway has a new young and talented team.

Sweden has won our first six games. Only Denmark has done the same. We are now plsying Norway tomorrow and Denmark on Wednesday. We need to win one of those games to secure our place in the semi-finals.

“There is a chance for Sweden to win the title this year”

We have a very good team this time. For a first time in ten years we are challenging for the title again. We have a young talented team, that became silver medalists in the EuroCup last year – and on top of that three world class players that previously for different resdon didn’t play for the national team are back.

Kim Ekdahl Du Reitz is back in the national team and so is Kim Andersson and Andreas Niksson.

This will be a fun week. We are going for gold.
