Austria's handball team starts against Kuwait: This is how it goes!

The Austrian national handball team is in the starting blocks for the 2025 World Handball Championship! The first game against Kuwait will take place on Tuesday, January 14th, and expectations are high. After the impressive achievements at the last European Championship, the team around captain Seppo Frimmel wants to survive the group phase successfully and pave the way to the round of 16.

The transmission begins at 8:15 p.m., followed by the first kick -off at 8:30 p.m. The game is commented on by Johannes Hahn, while Konrad Wilczynski, a 136-time team player, acts as a co-commentator. Trainer Ales Pajovic is optimistic about the "feasible group C", which, in addition to Kuwait, also includes world champion Qatar and France, as Kicker.at reports.
