The Korean women's handball team, led by head coach Lee Gye-cheong (Samchuk City Hall), will train at Jincheon Training Center in Chungcheongbuk-do from the 3rd to the 18th. He will depart for Tunisia on the 19th. After two friendly matches with the Tunisian national team there, he will move to Germany, where the tournament will be held on the 24th.
This year's World Championships, which will open on the 26th, will be co-hosted by Germany and the Netherlands. Korea was tied to Group H with Norway (4:30 a.m. on the 28th), Angola (2:00 a.m. on the 30th), and Kazakhstan (2:00 a.m. on December 2nd). You have to score at least 3rd place in the group to advance to the finals.
Korea's best record at the World Championships was in 1995. This year, the 27th Women's Handball World Championship was won only twice by a non-European country, Korea in 1995 and Brazil in 2013. However, Korea has not made a remarkable performance in the world championships since the 2000s. The last time he made it to the semifinals was in third place in 2003. In 2023, the previous competition, it ranked 22nd out of 32 participating countries.
Lee said, `We will focus on closely checking the condition of the players during this convocation training and raising the completeness of the team tactics.'
