We made a short interview with Dalibor Doder for a newspaper. The Swedish star is counting the days until the first throw-off.

– It will be great to play a handball world championship at home. I look forward to it enormously, he says.

Dalibor Doder is convinced that the Swedish fans will plays a major role for the team.

– I've seen how other nations have gone far in their home championships. It is like an eight player, and now it's our time to enjoy it.

He thinks, like most others, that Sweden is one of the favorites in Group D.

– It is us, Poland and Slovakia that should proceed.

He finds no direct surprises in neither of the other groups.

– It's France, Germany and Spain from Group A. In Group B, I think it's Iceland, Norway and Hungary.

The only group where he becomes a bit unsure is Group C.

– I suppose that Croatia and Denmark will have no problems. And it is between Serbia and Romania for third place.
