Which teams will compete in the 2027 Handball World Championship in Hanover?

The specific matches you’ll be able to see in Hanover will depend on how the preliminary round plays out. The top three teams from each of Groups E through H will qualify for the two main round groups in Hanover.

In these preliminary round groups, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Iceland, and Slovenia—among others—will compete for a spot in the main round. This gives Hannover the chance to face off against some of the world’s strongest handball nations in high-profile matches.

The German national team, on the other hand, is taking a different path through the tournament: Germany will start in Munich and, if it qualifies, will play its main round in Cologne.
