Denmark has won the World Handball Championship for the fourth time in a row. The final match was competitive in the first half, but Denmark gained a decisive lead after halftime. Croatia attempted a comeback but lost momentum after receiving three ejections in the final minutes, securing Denmark’s victory.
Is this the best team ever?
With two Olympic gold medals and four consecutive world titles, Denmark’s dominance has led to discussions about whether this is the greatest handball team in history. Former players Camilla Andersen and Bo Spellerberg have no doubts:
“The Danish men’s handball team in 2025 is the best team ever.”
Handball analyst Lars Krogh Jeppesen compared this team to past greats:
“You can compare them to France, who had Nikola Karabatic and Thierry Omeyer, just as Denmark has Mathias Gidsel and Emil Nielsen today.”
Reflecting on Sweden’s success in the 1990s, he added:
“They dominated but never had this level of consistency. They never won Olympic gold.”
It’s time to celebrate
Denmark’s latest victory strengthens its place as a powerhouse in international handball. Whether they are the best team ever remains a topic of debate, but their success is undeniable.
