Alongside Argentina, Croatia and Egypt, Denmark are one of the four nations to have participated in all eight previous editions of the IHF Men's Youth World Championship. And the European side is the most decorated team in the competition's history, as they won it three times, in 2007, 2011 and 2013, and earned bronze twice, in 2017 and 2019.

The U21 German national team set an example by winning the IHF Men’s Junior (U21) World Championship in their home country at the beginning of July. At Croatia 2023, the U19 national team from head coach Emir Kurtagic has the chance to achieve the same and lift the trophy. Four years ago, the German U19 national team was close to that goal but lost the final to Egypt.
