Mens Handball World Cup 2025 the Blues face Egypt in

With a flawless performance since the start of the World Cup, the Blues are moving forward as one of the big favorites.

The progress of the French handball team in this World Cup is currently perfect with a 7/7, but it is now the start of a completely new competition with the final phase and the start of the quarter-finals. Thanks to his career, the Blues have the advantage of avoiding the very big handball nations that they will only be able to meet in the final. For the quarter-finals, France will still have to be wary of Egypt who finished second in Group IV. As a reminder, in the group stage of the Olympics last summer, the African champions came very close to bringing down the Blues, joined at the last second on a goal from Ludovic Fabregas (26-26). The meeting will be followed this Tuesday at 9 p.m. in Zagreb.
