IHF | Birthday cake and a 62-year wait: Netherlands' men win at a world championship

The fourth edition of the IHF Men's World Championship took place in Germany 62 years ago.

Won by Romania, who were coached by Oprea Vlase and Niculae Nedeff, the Netherlands were one of the 12 teams who participated. 

Their campaign was short-lived, though. An opening loss against hosts Germany (7:33) was followed by a defeat against France (11:21) in preliminary group B, and they were out of contention.
