Handball World Cup 2027: Magdeburg is becoming a sports stronghold again!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - Magdeburg becomes again the setting for the World Handball Championship! After the successful tournaments in 2007 and 2017, Mayor Simone Borris is pleased with the decision that the city will be hosting again in 2027. "For the state capital, the 2027 World Cup is a perfect opportunity to present itself as a good host," she said. The World Cup begins on January 13 or 14, 2027 in several arenas, including the newly opened SAP Garden in Munich and the Getec Arena in Magdeburg.

A total of two preliminary round groups with four teams each will play in Magdeburg. The best three teams of each group move into the main round, which is held in the Lanxess Arena Cologne and ZAG Arena Hannover. The grand finale will take place on January 31, 2027 in Cologne. Germany has been hosting a men's tournament for the eighth time and thus continues its long tradition. The GETEC-Arena in Magdeburg has already proven in the past that it is a suitable place for such great sporting events, as meetingpoint-jl.de reports .
