Once the main round is over, it’s time for the final stages. The quarter-finals of the Women’s Handball World Cup begin this Tuesday and will be held over two days, first in Trondheim (Norway), then in Herning (Denmark). And it is the French, first qualified, who will open the ball by facing the Czech surprise. Crossed with group 4, France, first in group 2, might have faced the Netherlands or Spain. It is finally once morest the Czech Republic that France will find itself from 5:30 p.m., for a match which promises to be more affordable than the last one played by the Blues.
Last Sunday, once morest the Norwegians, current reigning world champions, the French fought to end up winning by one point, 24-23. With this extra point, the Olympic champions climbed to first in their group, and, at the same time, broke their black streak once morest the Norwegians, who had won their last three competitive confrontations (28-20 in the semi-finals). of Euro 2022, 29-22 in the World Cup final the previous year and 22-20 in the Euro-2020 final).
Handball, women’s world. The final table.
The Norwegians, second in group 2, also reached the quarter-finals. They will be on the bill for the second meeting, during which they will face the Netherlands, second in group 4, at home from 8:30 p.m.
The other two posters will be held the next day, Wednesday 13. They will take place in Denmark, one of the three countries co-organizing the World Cup with Norway and Sweden. It will then be groups 1 and 3 which will cross. Sweden (group 1) and Germany (group 3) will face off first, at 5:30 p.m.
The Swedes came out first in their group by winning largely on Monday evening, 32-25 once morest Montenegro, who occupies second place at the end of this main round. And who therefore, despite this defeat, qualifies for the rest. The Montenegrin players will face the Danes in the fourth and final quarter of the World Cup which will be held at 8:30 p.m. The Danish team finished first in group 3 ahead of Germany, which they beat 30-28 on Monday, and will play their quarter-final at home.
First place for Olivier Krumbholz’s players, still undefeated in the tournament. For the Blues, the final table looks a priori more favorable. They will only be able to meet their great Norwegian rivals in a possible final, on Sunday December 17.
