The preparations for the 2015 Women’s World Championship in Denmark, which will take place from 5 to 20 December, are well underway. Soon, the qualifications will be over and once the participants have been determined, it is time for the draw to be held.

24 June 2015 – this date should be kept in mind. It is not only the date set for the draw but actually also for the throw-off event for the World Championship. The draw will be staged at the magnificent castle ruin of Koldinghus which has been made possible by the Danish Handball Association (DHF) in collaboration with the city of Kolding, one of the overall four host cities.

The Mayor of the City of Kolding, John Pedersen, said that they think “Koldinghus is a perfect setting for the draw as the history of the castle contains many international visits. Furthermore Kolding is used to hosting international guests and events, so it is very natural for [them] to provide the stage for the draw.”

“We look forward to the draw event in Denmark. We are very excited that the World Championship will be held in Denmark and are sure that this great handball nation will be an excellent host and make everything possible to make this World Championship an unforgettable experience,” says IHF President Dr Moustafa.
