The Best: Main Round and President’s Cup

With just six games left of the 26th IHF Men’s World Championship, the action is heating up on court at Germany/Denmark 2019 as the world’s best players look to claim the world champion title.

After the completion of the Main Round and President’s Cup games – matches 61-90 –  we look at the awards given out by hummel for the best player in each match.

So far, 90 awards in total have been given out, with Norway’s left wing Magnus Jondal receiving the most – three. Denmark have won the best player award in each of their eight matches, with Bahrain the only nation of the 24 competing not to have won. The left back position has won the award the most times, 18 in total, closely followed by goalkeeper, on 16.
