After Spain's victory against Slovenia this Friday afternoon, in the main round of the handball world championship, the French team is already guaranteed to be in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Blues play this Friday evening against Iran, a match which is therefore without stake.

The France team has qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Handball Championship, of which Europe 1 is the official radio, even before its match on Friday 6 p.m. against Iran in Krakow, thanks to Spain's victory against Slovenia (31-26).

The Blues (6 pts) can no longer be joined in one of the first two places in Group I of the main round, neither by Montenegro (2 pts) nor by Slovenia (4 pts), which they will overtake in the event final tie after beating them.

Spain (8 pts) is also qualified.
