Julie Scaglione, the 21-year-old left back for Ikast Håndbold, has become a cornerstone of Denmark's attack after overcoming a knee injury, which saw her sidelined for nearly a year. She was named All-Star left back at the 2022 IHF Women's Youth World Championship, marking her early brilliance, then made good on her credentials by winning the bronze at the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship.

After her comeback, Scaglione has turned as a regular in Denmark’s senior team, contributing 32 goals (4.57 per match average) and 13 assists at the 2025 IHF Women's World Championship, including a 11-goal outburst vs Senegal. In the current EHF Champions League Women season, she has scored 64 goals from 104 shots (61.5% efficiency) over 10 matches.

Following in her mother Lone Mathiesen's footsteps (1997 World Champion), Scaglione's power and consistency make her a player to watch for the future, having already plenty of experience after making her senior debut aged only 16 years old.
