2026 Handball Club World Championship

Overview

The 2026 Handball Club World Championship commenced in Cairo, Egypt, at the New Capital Sports Hall. The tournament features ten teams divided into two groups of five, with only group winners advancing directly to the final.

Füchse Berlin opened their campaign with a dominant 38:18 victory over Kuwaiti side Burgan SC. The German team established an early 10:3 lead within seven and a half minutes. Due to the significant margin, coach Nicolej Krickau rotated the squad, substituting star player Mathias Gidsel after 19 minutes. Top scorers for Berlin included Aymeric Zaepfel with ten goals and Tim Freihöfer with nine, while substitute goalkeeper Frederik Höler saved seven of his first nine shots.

Following their opening win, Füchse Berlin suffered a loss to Veszprém HC. In their final group stage match, the German side was defeated 27:30 by Al-Ahly SC. As a result of these results, Füchse Berlin now competes for fifth place in the tournament.
