Handball World Cup 2023 France hits the mark schedule results

The quarter-finals of the World Handball Championship are reaching out to the French team, which continued its flawless performance yesterday, easily disposing of Montenegro for the start of the main phase…

The 2023 Handball World Cup continues on a good dynamic for the France team, which overcame Montenegro this Wednesday (35-24), in Krakow. A fourth consecutive victory for the Blues in this tournament and a first in the main round now launched in these world championships. The Olympic champions were largely favorites against the Montenegrins after a similar victory last year (37-26) in Budapest, during the Euro. And they held their rank.

Carried by Nikola Karabatic, Nedim Remili and Kentin Mahé, precious since the start of this 2023 World Cup, the Habs were also able to count yesterday on an excellent Vincent Gérard in goal, with around fifteen key saves. If at half-time the gap was only three goals (16-13), France unfolded in the second half with a good entry from Elohim Prandi at the back, who finished stifling the assaults of Montenegro and allowed the Blues to take off with a final gap of 9 goals.

In this Handball World Cup, the French now have the right to make mistakes, a defeat not depriving them of the quarter-finals. But they remain neck and neck with Spain in Group I for this main round. In the event of first place, Guillaume Gille’s men will play their first elimination match as well as a possible semi-final in Gdansk, Poland. The final is scheduled in Sweden, in Stockholm, on January 29.
