Analysis: Handball has pushed politics out of the public spotlight

The 17th World Handball Championship will begin with the match between Italy and Tunisia at 30:29 PM in Poreč, Croatia. In addition to Croatia, the World Championship will be co-hosted by Denmark and Norway.

The championship, which will last until February 2, will feature 32 national teams divided into eight groups. Among them is the Macedonian national team.

– It's good that handball, not politics, is in the foreground today, and the more the sport dominates the news, in my opinion, the healthier our nation will be.

Macedonia plays in a group with Hungary, the Netherlands and Guinea. It is obvious that Guinea is an outsider, but the bad news is that our handball players will play with this selection in the last 3rd round, and it will be inconvenient if we lose in the first two matches, and then we play under the imperative of victory, on which our placement in the next phase of the World Cup will depend.

According to Hanfball Planet, Macedonia will advance to the next phase of the championship, and in the end will take 22nd place, which is not such a bad ranking considering that 32 teams participate in the World Championship - says Sloboden Pechat journalist Srdjan Ivanovic.
