Jakob Larsen, a prominent handball profile, is employed as national coach for the Greenland women's national handball team.
The experienced coach, who has previously been part of national team training camps, brings both passion and expertise to the role.
- Jakob Larsen is the ideal choice to lead the women's national team. TAAK is currently undergoing rapid development with significant organizational strengthening. The board's ambitions are fully in line with our common goals for Greenlandic handball – including the World Cup qualification in June 2027, says Carsten Olsen, chairman of TAAK.
Jakob's connection to Horsens Handball Elite in Denmark creates a unique opportunity for positive collaboration. The collaboration during gatherings in Denmark will strengthen the Greenlandic handball scene and create inspiration across borders.
- We are proud to support Greenlandic handball. The cross-border cooperation provides inspiration and strength and contributes to the growth of handball in both Greenland and Denmark, says Jørgen Møller, from the board of HH Elite.
For Jacob Larsen himself, the excitement is also great.
- As a former national team player for many years, the time has now come to give back. TAAK's organizational strengthening and the board's ambitions are completely in line with my own ambitions on behalf of Greenlandic handball. Together, we will achieve the goals of getting the Greenland national team qualified for the World Championship again. I am grateful that HH Elite is allowing this unique opportunity and I look forward to a strong collaboration for everyone involved.
With Jakob Larsen as the new national coach, the Greenland women's national team is ready to take the next step towards international success.
