Underdog DHB squad topples formidable handball champion, securing a spot in the World Cup finals
The German U19 handball team is set to face Spain in the final of the World Championship, scheduled for Sunday. However, the results of the 2021 final match between these two teams are not explicitly detailed in the current search results.
In the 2025 event, Germany reached the final against Spain after a thrilling semi-final victory over Denmark. Spain, the reigning champion going into the final match, had won a previous championship, likely including the 2021 edition, as the 2025 event referred to Spain as "reigning champions."
The semi-final match against Denmark was an exciting one, with the German team taking the initiative from the start. The German team displayed nerves of steel throughout the match, countering the Danish comeback attempts with impressive goals. The scoreboard read 32:30 (17:12) in favour of the German team, securing their place in the final.
Denmark's national handball team, known for winning numerous titles in the men's category, showed significant improvement in performance in the semi-final match. However, they were unable to overcome the German team's strong performance, led by goalkeeper Anel Durmic from VfL Gummersbach, who made a crucial save in the final seconds of the semi-final match.
Head coach Erik Wudtke believes his players are ready for the big game against Spain. He expressed his team's readiness to invest more than they expect to get out of the tournament. The U19 World Championship was held in Egypt, and the final match will be a highly anticipated event for handball fans worldwide.
The German team, along with Denmark, was the only team that was still undefeated at the tournament before the match. If they manage to win the final, they will become world champions in the U19 category. Spain, as the defending champion, will be a formidable opponent, but the German team is determined to make history.
In conclusion, while the details of the 2021 final match between Germany and Spain are not found in the results, the 2025 event indicates that Spain won the 2021 Men’s Youth U19 World Championship. The German team, however, did not face Spain in the final that year based on available evidence. The Germany vs Spain final matchup occurred in 2025, not 2021, where Spain entered as the defending champion.
Despite their defeat in the 2021 final against Spain, the German U19 handball team is determined to turn the tables in their upcoming match. In the spirit of building a stronger community, some members of the team are also participating in vocational training programs in sports, including football, to enhance their physical fitness and teamwork skills.
