The Swiss women’s handball team is set to compete against Slovakia in the playoffs for the 2025 World Cup, which is perceived as a favorable matchup. The draw took place during the European Championship in Vienna, where Switzerland successfully advanced to the main round for the first time. Slovakia, having finished last in the group stage of the Euro Championship, will be seeking redemption. The decisive playoff matches will take place in April 2024, with the World Cup scheduled for late 2025 in Germany and the Netherlands.
