FAQ: About Handball
Who are the current world champions in Handball?
Veteran goalkeeper Niklas Landin Jacobsen and Denmark defeated Niclas Ekberg’s Sweden squad to win the 2021 World Men’s Handball Championship. That victory marked Denmark’s second straight championship after winning in 2019. If Denmark wins the 2023 world championship, they’ll join France, Romania, Sweden, Germany, and Russia as the only countries to win at least three world titles.
Where is the next handball World Cup?
Poland and Sweden will co-host the 2023 World Men’s Handball Championship. Croatia, Denmark, and Norway will each serve as the host nations in 2025; that will mark the third time Denmark has hosted, the second time for Croatia, and the first instance for Norway.
What is the best handball club in the world?
France enters the 2023 World Men’s Handball Championship with a record six World Men’s Handball Championship titles, the last one coming in 2017. Romania and Sweden are the only other nations to win at least four titles.
Can I stream sports on my computer?
Definitely. If you’re accessing the streaming service from a web browser, be sure to also install the ExpressVPN extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The extension has a few features under the hood that can smooth out common streaming issues.
Can I stream sports on my phone or tablet?
Yes. ExpressVPN has apps for every major mobile device, including iOS and Android.
How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
-With the native app for a smart TV or streaming device
-By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
-By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
-By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
-With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as Apple TV or gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN. (Note that by connecting your Apple TV or gaming console to a router, you can get the best of both worlds!)

I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
-The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.
