Germany has won one gold, two silver, and one bronze medal so far at the Olympic tournaments, and Spain has won three bronze medals so far.

So it will be very interesting to see how they are going to open this Olympic campaign today, and set their tone for the upcoming challenges.

The national team of Germany has played two friendly games this month to set their form for the big event in Japan. In their first match, they faced the national team of Brazil, where the Germans won the game with a score of 36:26. After this great performance, they faced the national team of Egypt, where the German squad won the game once more, this time with a score of 29:27. So after a good warm-up, Alfreð Gíslason’s crew is ready to start the real handball battles, starting tomorrow against the great national handball team of Spain.

Spain on the other hand has played three friendly games to warm up for the Olympic tournament. First, they played against Egypt where the Spanish team won the game with the result of 30:29. Then the Spaniards played two consecutive games against the national team of Portugal, where they lost the first game with the result of 32:31, but in the second one, they won the game with the result of 38:32. So Jordi Ribera used this great opportunity to see many aspects of the form of his squad, and now they are absolutely good to go in the upcoming Olympic challenges ahead.

We are expecting a high-quality game, with great pace and fighting spirit, where both teams will be looking to start the tournament with a winning result.

So tune in tomorrow, and enjoy this great handball duel between the great national teams of Germany and Spain.
