TEHRAN (Iran News) –Germany made it out of the preliminary round at the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship for the sixth time in a row, taking their second win in as many matches in Group F at Denmark/Norway/Sweden 2023, 45-22, against Iran.
The European side also tied the record for the number of goals scored in a single match at the IHF Women’s World Championship, set 16 years ago against Paraguay, when they took a 45:12 win, which is still the largest-ever in their history in the world handball flagship competition.
On the other hand, Iran conceded their eighth loss in nine matches at the IHF Women’s World Championship and their hopes of progression hang by a thread, with the last match against Japan being paramount for the Asian side, who has lost the first two matches by 43 goals combined.
Iran had lost to Sweden 35-15 in their first match on Thursday.
