A Swedish trainer about the WCh teams from Asia and Africa

Soon it is time, the starting time gets closer every day, which is amazing! But there are some obstacles along the way, or is there?

Malmö Arena will be hosting one of the biggest events in the Nordic countries of all time. In this post I figured I'd look closer at some of the teams that will take part in tournament.

I can imagine a gigantic event with fanzones, enormous commerical balloons in the air, VIP rooms with all manner of celebrities mingling with champagneglasses all the time. Then you want good handball too of course, but this time I want handball to really brag to the world about the fact that we've separated ourselves from the unprioritised sports and flex our muscles!

Bahrain and Korea.

Both teams have made it to the final in the Asian Championships, and are therefore qualified as two of three Asian teams. The winner of the bronze match (Japan vs. Saudi Arabia) will be the third one.

The last seconds of the semi-final between Bahrain was sensational. Saudi was playing 6-4 and had the ball with seven seconds to go. They took at shot with four seconds left and you have to look at the attached video to belive what happend...
