Henny Reistad dominated the 2025 IHF Women's World Championship, leading Norway to their fifth world title – her second gold medal at the event. She was named MVP and top scorer with 55 goals, earning her second consecutive MVP award at the World Championship.

With this, Reistad positions herself to potentially become the second player to win three consecutive IHF World Player of the Year awards (after Cristina Neagu) and the second to win it three times overall (also after Neagu, who has four). At club level with Team Esbjerg, she was the EHF Champions League Women top scorer with 154 goals in 2024/25, securing bronze.

The 26-year-old captain's vision and scoring and leadership make her one of the world’s best and Reistad can make history by snatching up another trophy on her way to greatness.
