Missing three editions of the IHF Men’s World Championship between 2015 and 2021 was too much for a team that won the bronze medal at Egypt 1999 and France 2001 and had always finished in the top 10 since 1997.
Their performance at Denmark/Germany 2019 was also truly disappointing, as Serbia finished on the 18th place, with a huge step back from their consistent displays, which yielded so many great performances in the world handball flagship competition.
For the first time in 10 years, Serbia threw off their IHF Men's World Championship campaign with a win, capitalising on a good performance with a strong start against Algeria (36:27).
