Handball World Cup 2021

The 2021 World Cup in Egypt took place under corona measures and therefore without spectators. But of course not without Kempa athletes. In the final between Denmark and Sweden, five players played in Kempa shoes.

The 2021 World Cup was in a critical spotlight. Despite the global Corona pandemic, the World Cup was played in Egypt. The teams and players were in a bubble, to the exclusion of the public. Corona tests were constantly carried out, but even at this World Cup there were some positive cases. Cape Verde had to cancel the World Cup after their first match because they had too many positive cases in their player ranks. The Czech national team and the USA national team also had to cancel the World Cup at short notice.

Nevertheless, the spectators could watch great handball games on television. In the end, Denmark was the winner. Three teams played in Kempa jerseys at this World Cup. The national team from Iceland played in the new Kempa Status collection and showed good games with Björgvin Gutvasson in goal. Furthermore, Qatar and Tunisia played in Kempa gear.
