Westphalia/Dortmund, June 2025 - Country flags, national anthems and a real World Cup atmosphere: at the Mini World Cup organised by the Westphalia Handball Association, almost 900 children experience the dream of the big stage - in an authentic World Cup atmosphere and specially designed national jerseys.
‘This tournament is an absolute highlight for us,’ says Björn Bruckhaus, Managing Director of the Handballverband Westfalen. ‘We offer our youngest handball players a big stage and awaken in them the team spirit and passion that characterise our sport.’ He is particularly pleased that the Mini World Cup has developed into the largest youth tournament in the region in just three years - with growing enthusiasm and strong support from partners such as spized, the tournament's official jersey partner.

Spized unterstützt Mini-WM mit einzigartigen Trikots

Each of the 64 participating teams - including 32 girls' and 32 mixed teams - will represent a country allocated in the draw and will compete in a specially national jersey. With the help of the spized 3D configurator, the teams were able to design their outfits individually - entirely in the colours and patterns of their colours and patterns of their country. ‘When you look into the eyes of the children when they run out in their jerseys jerseys or celebrate a goal, you realise how much it means to them,’ says Ansgar Pfeifenbring, Head of Sales at spized. ‘That's exactly where we want to start - to and promote a sense of community in youth handball.’

Vom Pilotprojekt zum Großereignis


What began as a pilot project in 2023 has now established itself as a fixed highlight in the Westphalian youth calendar. The doubling of the number of participants compared to the first edition shows the success of the concept. The clear separation into mixed and girls' competitions is also a strong sign of equality and diversity. 

The preliminary rounds took place on 10 and 11 May at eight locations throughout Westphalia. In the subsequent main round on 24 and 25 May, the best teams battled it out for a place in the final round. The finalists have now been determined and will play for the title on 14 June in Minden: 

Girls' final round: 
SG Menden Sauerland Wölfe (North Macedonia)
TuS Jahn Dellwig (Germany)
JSG Hesselteich-Loxten (Chile)
SuS Stadtlohn (USA)

Fan-Voting: Das beliebteste Trikot der Mini-WM

The Westphalia Handball Association and jersey supplier spized provided the first highlight of the tournament even before the first kick-off: on 5 May, a public online vote was launched for the most popular jersey of the Mini World Cup. Over 4,000 votes were cast within a week during the first voting phase - a clear sign that the children, parents and other team supporters identify with ‘their nations’ and creative jerseys. The winners of the vote were SG Menden Sauerland Wölfe with their North Macedonia jersey and HSG Hattingen-Spröckhövel with their Iceland jersey.
