Betsson, a renowned global betting company with a strong commitment to women's sports, is proud to announce its partnership as the official sponsor of the upcoming 26th IHF Women’s World Championship 2023, brokered by SPORTFIVE. Hosted by Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, the tournament will captivate audiences from November 29 to December 17, 2023. The draw will take place today, 6 July, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The 26th IHF Women’s World Championship 2023 is a split event, with the group stage being held in all three countries, while the final will take place in Herning, Denmark. A total of 32 national teams will compete for the coveted gold medal. Prior to the draw, Norway is leading the odds, followed by Denmark on third and Sweden on the fifth place on Betsson’s odds list.

“We are thrilled to introduce Betsson as a new valued partner for the Women's Handball World Championship this November. With their wealth of experience in supporting women's sports globally we are confident that this collaboration will further elevate the excitement and bring the tournament to new heights,” says Robert Müller von Vultejus, Chief Growth Officer at SPORTFIVE.
This will be Sweden's first time hosting the IHF Women’s World Championship 2023. Denmark, which hosted the competition in 2015, now shares the championship with Sweden and Norway.
