The French handball team, already qualified for the main round after its very large victories against Qatar (37-19) then against Kuwait (43-19), continues its 2025 Handball World Cup and challenges Austria this Saturday at 6 p.m., for his third match of the preliminary round. Here’s how to follow the meeting.
The French team and Austria face each other this Saturday, January 18 for the third match of the preliminary round of the 2025 World Handball Championship. Both teams are already qualified but the objective is to take two additional points in order to join the main round (3 matches in Varazdin from January 21 to 25) with maximum advantages.
The Blues could not dream of a better start to this 2025 Handball World Cup. Six months after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Guillaume Gille’s men were keen to do much better . And it starts well…
The Blues provided the essentials against one of the weakest teams in the tournament, Kuwait, with a real demonstration (43-19). This victory allowed them to qualify for the main round, which will begin on January 21.
To present themselves there in the best conditions, Guillaume Gille’s men will have to continue their flawless performance against Austria, a selection in constant progress, also already qualified for the main round. This team even finished in eighth place in Euro 2024. Even if Austria seems accessible on paper, they should not be underestimated.
