Jetzt ist es verkündet. Julian Köster (25) ist für das letzte EM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen die Türkei am Sonntag (18 Uhr in Stuttgart/sportschau.de) der neue Kapitän der deutschen Handball-Nationalmannschaft.
Weil der eigentliche Kapitän Johannes Golla (27/Flensburg), dazu Star-Torhüter Andi Wolff (34/Kiel) und Franz Semper (27/Leipzig), abgereist sind, von Bundestrainer Alfred Gislason (65) eine geplante Regenerationspause bekommen, darf nun Köster ran.
Kommentator fassungslos: Ist DAS der schlechteste Wurf der Handball-Saison?
Köster freut sich auf sein 71. A-Länderspiel: „Es ist ein schönes Gefühl und eine große Ehre. Auch wenn es nur für ein Spiel ist, bedeutet es mir viel, und ich freue mich einfach, unsere Mannschaft in Stuttgart aufs Feld führen zu dürfen.“
Der Rechtshänder ist bereits seit 2022 Kapitän des VfL Gummersbach. Eine der ersten Aufgabe als stellvertretender DHB-Kapitän war am Freitagabend sehr angenehm: die Übergabe eines Geburtstagskuchens an den 25 Jahre alt gewordenen Juri Knorr.
<!–>
Der 16er-Kader steht. Weil Golla und Semper nicht mehr dabei sind, kommen Matthes Langhoff (22/Füchse Berlin) und auch Kreisläufer Aron Seesing (22/Bergischer HC) zu ihrem Debüt in der A-Nationalmannschaft.
Diese tritt mit einer U30-Formation an – das Durchschnittsalter liegt nur bei 24,4 Jahren und die Gesamtzahl der Länderspiele bei 466, was einen durchschnittlichen Wert von 30 Einsätzen fürs A-Team ergibt. Allerdings bringen allein Juri Knorr (78), Timo Kastening (73) und Julian Köster (70) sowie Luca Witzke (50), David Späth (41) und Renars Uscins (40) schon 352 Spiele in die Statistik ein – was den Schnitt für den Rest auf 11,4 Einsätze reduziert.
[–>Im letzten EM-Quali-Gruppenspiel geht es um nichts mehr. Mit dem Unentschieden gegen die Schweiz hatte Deutschland den Gruppensieg und das EM-Ticket schon in der Tasche. Die Europameisterschaft 2026 findet vom 15. Januar bis 1. Februar 2026 in Dänemark, Schweden und Norwegen statt.

Data-Backed NFL Bets: Falcons -6.5 a strong play against short-handed 49ers
Many NFL bettors start by looking at individual markets — like spreads, totals, teasers or props — and ask, “Which spread looks good?” or “What totals stand out this week?” This is a bottom-up approach, where you focus on specific bets first. In this space, we’ll take a different approach. We’ll focus on one game each week and use a top-down strategy to break it down. This means starting with the bigger picture — how teams, players or trends are performing — and then finding the best ways to apply that information to different betting markets. While some of our bets may focus on traditional markets, like spreads or totals, we’ll often explore other opportunities to maximize value. Atlanta Falcons -6.5 vs. San Francisco 49ers As always, we’ll start by examining the team fundamentals and how this matchup is priced, […]
Kim ends five-year winless run on LPGA Tour with big home win
Sei Young Kim ended a five-year winless run on the LPGA Tour with a four-shot victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea. The former major champion took a four-shot lead into the final day at Pine Beach Golf Links, with Kim retaining control - on home soil - by mixing six birdies with a lone bogey during a final-round 67. Kim recovered from an early bogey at the par-three third to register four birdies in a five-hole stretch from the fifth, seeing her turn in 33, then extended her advantage with back-to-back gains from the 14th. Image: Kim carded rounds of 62, 66, 69 and 67 to complete victory A three-par finish kept Kim on 24 under and comfortably ahead of closest challenger Nasa Hataoka, who matched her five-under 67, while A Lim Kim ended six strokes back […]
Benn: ‘One shot away from Eubank KO – I just got greedy’
Conor Benn remains convinced he should have beaten Chris Eubank Jr in their first fight.Benn and Eubank Jr, the sons of great rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, fought through a barnstorming 12 rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April. Eubank prevailed with a unanimous decision victory, but Benn was left thinking he should have won the fight."I know I was hurting him because he looked vulnerable in there. He looked like he was one shot away at any given moment. But I never thought in my head [during the fight]: 'Have I won that round, how many rounds have I won?' I was so consumed by violence," Benn told Sky Sports.
