2027 Handball World Championship preparations

Overview

Preparations for the 2027 Handball World Championship in Germany are showing significant commercial and technological developments. Organizers reported high interest with over 850,000 tickets sold, representing an 80 percent occupancy rate and surpassing the event’s break-even point.

In addition to strong ticket sales, organizers are evaluating the use of an LED-integrated glass floor for the final match in Cologne. This technology, which allows the playing surface to display animations, statistics, and advertisements, has received approval from the International Handball Federation (IHF) regarding athlete safety and grip. A final decision on the floor remains pending due to financial and organizational considerations.

To address potential difficulties for fans in securing tickets for the German national team, the German Handball Federation (DHB) and ProSieben have announced a public viewing initiative. Under this plan, clubs are encouraged to organize community viewing events in sports halls or clubhouses. ProSieben will provide free use of the television signal for these events, and participating clubs will receive official promotional materials to assist with local advertising and social media. To encourage participation, a competition will be held among clubs, offering 20 prize packages including autograph card sets.
