Germany attacks Poland at the World Cup at handball: Now it counts!

The German national handball team starts with full strength on January 15, 2025! After an excellent silver medal at the Olympic Games last year, the DHB team under coach Alfred Gislason will compete against the Polish national team in the "Jyske Bank Boxen" arena in Herning (Denmark). This is the first of a total of three group games, and the team is determined to start the tournament with a win.

The opening game starts at 8:30 p.m., but the live broadcast on ARD and in the free live stream on Joyn will start from 8:15 p.m. As a reporter, Florian Naß will lead the audience through the game, while handball world champion Dominik Klein brings his knowledge as an expert. And the expectations are high! After all, the DHB team successfully played its last games against Poland, including a victory in the 2022 EM with 30:23, such as Joyn reported.

Before the first game is due, there is an important change: back area player Franz Semper fails due to mild muscular problems. National coach Gislason has confirmed that the decision was made together to ensure that the player is completely recovered. "Every player knows what you have to do better to start the tournament well," explains captain Johannes Golla optimistically. Although the dress rehearsal against Brazil with a clear 38:26 victory has been successful, the team appeared with some weaknesses that need to be laid out, reports Berlin Live .

How will the DHB team beat? In the preliminary round, Switzerland and the Czech Republic are still waiting as the next opponent, and the goal remains clear: get as far as possible in the tournament and secure a place under the medal winners. The tension increases, and now it is time to keep your fingers crossed for Germany!
