Following the behaviour of Hungary women's team coach Kim Rasmussen during the press conference after their last preliminary round match against Romania on 6 December, the IHF Executive Committee decided to suspend Mr Rasmussen from any handball coaching activities in their meeting held on 10 December 2019 in Kumamoto, Japan. 
 
During the press conference after the match, which Hungary lost by one, Mr Rasmussen showed unsportsmanlike behaviour and used inappropriate language. Therefore, in accordance with Articles 17 and 32 of the IHF Regulations concerning Penalties and Fines, the IHF Executive Committee decided to suspend Mr Kim Rasmussen from any handball coaching activities on national and international level with immediate effect and to refer the case related to his behaviour to the IHF Ethics Commission for further action, if applicable.
