HÀ NỘI – The Việt Nam national handball teams entered the second round of the ongoing World Beach Handball Championship in Kazan, Russia.
Both Vietnamese men’s and women’s teams have had one win and two losses to rank third in their groups. The results helped them qualify for the second round.
The male team lost to both Spain and Hungary 0-2 but beat New Zealand 2-1 (18-14, 16-17 and 6-5).
While the female team came from behind to beat arch rival Mexico 2-1 (12-16, 22-20, 5-4), they were defeated by Norway and Denmark.
