Hungary can host the 2027 Women's Handball World Cup

The 32-team tournament is scheduled to take place in Budapest, Debrecen, Győr and Tatabánya.

"It may seem a bit familiar to us after hosting the 2022 Men's and 2024 Women's European Championships that we can host the 2027 Women's World Cup, but remember that Hungary has been able to host an adult for the last 16 years world championship in handball when the European Women's Championship took place here, and the last World Championship for adults was in our country in 1995. " - quoted Máté Kocsis, president of MKSZ, from the website of the association.

The sports leader in Cairo emphasized that the quarter-century-old tournament has taken the sport to a new dimension in Hungary and everyone can still remember the silver medal of that time.

"Successful Women's Champions League Final Four in recent years, the World Junior Recruitment Contests, have not only established a solid organizational knowledge in Hungarian handball, but also indicate that Hungary is a good, good director, and that it also means a lot of trust in international organizations. . We are very pleased that many Hungarian people and many national team players will have the opportunity to experience the national team within three years, to see the national team at European and World Championships and to strive for the best results on the domestic track. " said Máté Kocsis.

Gabriella Horváth, Secretary General of MKSZ, stressed that they had won the right to hold an extremely valuable tournament.

"The Hungarian Women's World Cup will be the most important women's qualifying competition for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics," he said. , so the two outermost venues will be available as quickly as possible, and the concept has been well-liked by the International Handball Association. "

Hungary most recently hosted the Women's World Cup in 1995 with co-organizer Austria. Prior to that, the country held the only World Cup in 1982, followed by the Soviet Union in second place, and in 1995 the Republic of Korea overtook the Hungarians.

According to information from the International Federation, the 2025 Men's World Cup will be co-hosted by Croatia, Denmark and Norway and in 2027 will be held in Germany. Germany and the Netherlands host the 2025 Women's World Cup.
