Four players from the Handball League are in Finland’s qualifying squad

Finland, led by Ola Lindgren, is ready to enter new qualifiers at the beginning of November. A double header against Great Britain could bring the neighboring nation closer to the World Cup and the Sweden captain will bring 16 players to the pool.

YLE is catching up The association’s press release did not mention any major surprises.

We want to invest in continuity. We have some youngsters joining the team, but there are also experienced players, says Lindgren in the press release.

Hammarby’s new acquisition Mikael Makela is one of five players with a Swedish club title in the current squad. Alingsås duo Benjamin Helander and Max Granlund with different starting positions on the left are reliable players in the national team shirt.

Finland needs to win several qualifying rounds to qualify for the World Cups in Denmark, Norway and Croatia.

The first two rounds will likely be pre-qualifiers, and Finland certainly got a tip-off against Great Britain.

– We want to show that we are indeed the candidates. Firstly, the goal is to play two good and strong matches to get the performance we want. “This would give us results and a place in the next qualifying stage,” says Lindgren. According to YLE.
