As part of their preparation for the Women’s Handball World Cup, the French women’s handball team is competing this weekend in the French Tournament at the Palais des sports in Caen-la-Mer (Normandy). After beating Senegal on Friday, Les Bleues are preparing to meet South Korea this Sunday, November 26 at 5 p.m. for a final friendly match. They will then fly to the 2023 World Championship which will take place from November 29 to December 17 in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. During the last confrontation against the Koreans in 2019, Olivier Krumbholz’s players lost 27-29 as they entered the Women’s Handball World Cup in Japan.
In the group stage of the competition, Les Bleues will face Angola (November 30 at 8:30 p.m.), Iceland (December 2 at 6 p.m.) and Slovenia (December 4 at 9 p.m.) in Stavanger, Norway. For its part, South Korea will face Austria, Greenland and Norway in group C. During the last World Cup in Spain in 2021, the tricolors failed in the final, and therefore finished in second place, while the Koreans finished the competition in fourteenth position.
The kickoff of the match between France and South Korea is scheduled for 5 p.m. this Sunday, November 26 at the Palais des Sports in Caen, and the match will be broadcast live on La Chaîne L’Équipe and BeIN Sports 3.
