Germany already knows its World Cup route: the men fall into a very tough group and the women will travel to Wavre

A raffle that already conditions the speech of the year

The DHB can now watch the 2026 World Cup with a specific map. The draw placed HONAMAS in a very demanding group B along with Belgium, France and Malaysia, while DANAS will share a group with Argentina, the United States and Scotland. The German reading is immediate: an initial phase of maximum difficulty awaits the men and a table with a great competitive focus awaits the women in the crossing with Argentina.

The men's team will have a duel of enormous symbolic and competitive significance against the host Belgium.

The women's team will play in Wavre and opens a group with rivals with very different profiles, from the Argentine powerhouse to two uncomfortable teams like the United States and Scotland.

The DHB also set a date for the challenge: August is no longer an abstraction, but a path with concrete matches.

Draws do not win or lose tournaments, but they do set expectations. In the German case, the table leaves two stories open: how much the men's team can grow in a very tough area and how far the women's team can go if it converts a complex group into competitive momentum.
