Danish handball teams face mixed results in international tests

The Danish women's national handball team suffered a significant defeat against Norway, though individual progress was noted. Despite the loss, Mie Højlund showed signs of returning to form, demonstrating improved timing and defensive positioning against a high-level Norwegian defense featuring players such as Kari Brattset Dale and Kristine Breistøl. Højlund's performance comes after a period marked by injuries and instability at her club, Odense Håndbold.

In the youth categories, the Danish U19 women's team lost two test matches against Germany, with scores of 28-32 and 21-23. Despite the defeats, U19 head coach Flemming Dam Larsen expressed optimism regarding the team's defensive development since the summer championship. The coaching staff identified the offensive game as a primary area for continued improvement during upcoming training camps and club sessions.
