Men's Handball IHF World Championship 2025


Recommended Posts

Yesterday results:

the day of thrill and surprises

 

Group III

 

:ESP VS :POR29-35, the surprise is not just the result or :ESP has been eliminated, actually the performance of :POR was very great not only in this game but in the whole tournament, the great thing about :POR they can score from all positions, back side, wings, pivot, penetration and fast breaks.. as a handball ex-player and fan I really like this team and wish they continue like that 

:SWE VS :BRA 24-27, another huge surprise for one of the trams ( :BRA ) if they believe themselves they can be at least in the top 8 every tournament (and first not to lose the pan American championship).. I saw only the highlights but a major observation that :SWE never get ahead in the game and the only draw was 1-1 !!.. I like the personality of :BRA when the gap reduced from 5 goals to 20-19 near the end but :BRA acted as a big team and increased the gap again. Another team I would love to see them usually in the top eight 

:CHI VS :NOR 22-39, easy game with no actual resistance 

 

GROUP IV

 

:ARG VS :CPV 30-26, :ARG Secured their first win in the main round, but being honest the team was stronger in the last two championship :CPV can be an important figure in African handball and we may see them more frequently on the podium with silver or bronze (currently :EGY is dominating the continent by far)

:EGY VS :SLO 26-25, first I want to show this number (11-20) this is the number of turnovers in the game!!! :SLO did 20!!! When I was playing u 15 and our team do 20 turnovers in a game the next day we would be punished with tough training and exercises (when we were 16 years old and above we never do 20 turnovers in a game!!)

referees were a key factor in the game with 3 imaginary penalties for :SLO keeping them in the game when the gap start increasing (left back jump from 8 m hitting 2 :EGY defenders with 2 cases are obviously offensive foul and one normal foul for :SLO but refs intentionally gave penalties)… then at min 29:58 in 2nd half they balanced their decision by giving an offensive foul against :SLO in an action never ever being awarded as offensive foul. Anyway, :EGY secured qualification as 2nd to face :FRA with rare opportunity to be first

:CRO VS :ISL 32-26, :CRO The home team finally found the pace and win by more than 5 goals to be in the safe side in the head to head between :CRO:EGY:ISL and if :CRO beat :SLO in the last game they will be heading the group

You are absolutely right

and I didn’t see great potential in your u21 or u19 teams 

you need to build up a new generation with good coaching school (I recommend spanish or french as it matches more your way of playing and body shape)

 

Brazil and even Chile are doing well now and the gap will grow even bigger

After discussing with some friends close to IHF

the ref whistle passive play after :SLO did the 5th pass (the new rule the team should have max of 4 passes after the ref announces passive)

    • Referees and Linesmen assigned for CHL Final   Top game officials from the German DEL, the Finnish Liiga and the ICE Hockey League will take charge of this season's Champions Hockey League Final.   The head referees for the CHL Final, which will be played on 18 February in Zurich (SUI), will be André Schrader (GER) and Riku Brander (FIN) – two of the very best referees in the German DEL and the Finnish Liiga respectively with many officiated games on an international level under their belt.   Schrader has been a pro head referee in the German DEL since 2017 and has officiated in five playoff finals since then.   On an international level, he was selected for the 2014 and the 2022 Olympic Games as well as for games at the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship, the IIHF World Junior Championship and the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship.   Furthermore, the German officiated the 2023 CHL Final as a head referee and the 2015 CHL Final as a linesman.   Brander has been a head referee in the Finnish Liiga since 2019 and turned into a pro in 2022.   He has officiated over 350 games including playoffs and the bronze medal game in 2024.   On an international level, Brander was selected for the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship 2024 in Czechia, as well as for two Olympic Qualification Final Tournaments and multiple IIHF Ice Hockey U20 and U18 World Championships.   Running the lines at the CHL Final in Zurich will be Oto Durmis (SVK) and Simon Rieken (AUT), both working for the ICE Hockey League.
    • Best of the Best Ready to Battle in Zurich: CHL Final 2025 Preview   Switzerland's ZSC Lions Zurich will suit up against Sweden's Färjestad Karlstad as the two clubs battle it out on the Champions Hockey League's biggest stage for the European Trophy.   Zurich advanced after taking down fellow Swiss challenger Genève-Servette in the Semi-Finals with a 9-4 aggregate win while Färjestad overcame Czech side Sparta Prague with a 10-4 aggregate victory.   Färjestad have been excellent on the road Zurich continue to find ways to win Star players could be the deciding factor for both clubs   A commanding First Game performance against the reigning CHL Champions helped secure Zurich's trip to the Final as they engineered a five-goal aggregate advantage that saw several of their top players continue to be effective in all situations.   The Swiss netted six goals, including two on the powerplay, before Genève were able to light the lamp in the third period as Sven Andrighetto and company were able to slice through Genève's defence with ease.   The Return Game was a much tamer affair, with both clubs securing three goals.   But thanks to solid netminding from Robin Zumbühl who stopped 24 of 27 on the night, Zurich were able to close out the series and secure a much-deserved trip to the Final.   Looking ahead, the Swiss will have the home-ice advantage and while they've been better on the road, their numbers at the Swiss Life Arena have been strong.   Stats-wise, they're currently tied with the Swedes in most areas: goals for per game with 4.08 while their defence sits slightly behind Färjestad's with 2.00 goals against per game compared to their opponents' 1.83.          While neither club sports an advantage in any one category, Zurich's roster has some heavy hitters that could sway the game in their favour.   The aforementioned Andrighetto sits atop the league in points with eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points, while teammate Denis Malgin is in third place with six goals and 11 helpers for 17 points through ten games played.   Having the likes of the league's Top Scorers on your side will certainly be a comfort for a Swiss side that's about to face the league's best defence in Färjestad.   Much like the Swiss, Färjestad's First Game against Sparta gave them a multi-goal cushion that helped propel them past the Semi-Finals.   The Czechs kept it close through the first 20 minutes, but then in the middle frame, the Swedes extended their lead as Oskar Steen secured his club's second as Färjestad went on to net four more and to take it to 6-2.   Then on home ice, the home team picked up where they left off, netting their first of two powerplay goals as they smothered Sparta's offence all the while exposing the Czechs' defence for four more tallies en route to their tenth win of the season.   Who to look out for?   Sven Andrighetto, ZSC Lions Zurich   31-year-old Swiss international Sven Andrighetto and the CHL's Top Scorer heading into the Final has been a menace on Europe's biggest club ice hockey stage, racking up a whopping 20 points (8G, 12A) in 11 games played.   After almost bowing out to former CHL Champions Tappara Tampere in their Round of 16 series, Färjestad have now gone on to register multiple convincing wins starting with a 6-0 slashing of Red Bull Salzburg in the Quarter-Finals Return Game.   A big reason for this has been consistent play at both 5-on-5 as well as their lethal special teams play.   The Swedes showcased their third-ranked powerplay against Sparta to great success, securing a pair of powerplay tallies against the Czechs' fifth-ranked PK.   With so much talent up and down the roster for Färjestad, Zurich will need to be at the top of their game.
    • Finally there's a Wikipedia page for the qualifying, but it's not entirely up-to-date yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-country_skiing_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics_–_Qualification   Brazil does have a male quota, due to Manex's 159 or so points in the sprint in Schilpario, but isn't mentioned in the list.   It also has this line, which I haven't seen before:   Is that like a safety net in case a country didn't get into the top-30 of the ranking and didn't get a basic quota? Hard one, because in that case it will be rather difficult to get under 300 points in a World Cup (assuming FIS would even allow them in with a wildcard), but interesting.
    • As per usual, the quotas can already be counted as quotas that will be reallocated
