Women's World Cup Handball

This year, the best women's teams in the world will gather for the 27th World Handball Championship.

Under the motto "Hands Up For More," these top teams from around the world will compete in five cities: Rotterdam, 's-Hertogenbosch, Dortmund, Stuttgart and Trier. For the Netherlands, it is a milestone in handball history. The last World Cup on Dutch soil took place in 1986. After the sporting results in recent years, it is a logical step that not only Germany but also the Netherlands as organizing country may put the handball sport in the shop window with a World Cup on its own soil. The World Cup will run from November 26 to December 14, 2025.
