On Monday, The IHF (International Handball Federation) awarded Germany and Denmark with the honor of hosting its 2019 Men’s world championship. The preliminary game of the men's tournament will take place in Berlin; while the finals will be taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark.
GERMANY - MIXED FORTUNE
However, for the Germans, this will be their sixth time of hosting the men’s handball at the world level. They had a great victory in 2007 when they hosted the play, but since that victory, they have been struggling to win at the European and Olympic level but all to no avail.
The German national team in January 2012, suffered a terrible double blow of defeat to Poland and that got them disqualified from the European Championship and all the efforts they made to qualify for the London Olympics were dashed. However, the 2019 World Men’s Handball Championship offers yet another great opportunity for them to get back on their feet.
