Second World Championship Win: Women's Handball Team Qualifies Early for Main Round - Germany crushes Uruguay 38:12 to secure spot in World Championship’s main round
Germany’s women’s handball team dominated Uruguay in a one-sided match at the World Championship. The final score of 38:12 secured their early place in the main round. Substitutes and rising stars played key roles in the commanding victory.
The game began with an unexpected twist. Uruguay caught Germany off guard with their opening attack, but the European side quickly regained control. Head coach Markus Gaugisch took the chance to rest playmaker Emily Vogel, who sat out due to a slight cold. Her position was filled by Annika Lott, one of several changes in the starting line-up.
The 38:12 win ensures Germany’s progression to the main round of the World Championship. Küne, Engel, and Wachter’s standout performances highlighted the team’s depth and versatility. With key players rested and confidence high, the squad now looks ahead to tougher challenges in the championship standings.
