The 32-year-old playmaker leaves his long-time club Ystads IF after an illustrious career in the Swedish league. Gottfridsson has been a cornerstone of the Swedish national team, leading them to multiple medals at major tournaments, including a silver medal at the 2021 World Championships. Known for his exceptional court vision, pinpoint passing, and clutch shooting, he is widely regarded as one of the best playmakers in the world. Flensburg-Handewitt, one of the top handball clubs in Europe, has been pursuing Gottfridsson’s signature for several months. The German giants have been keen to strengthen their squad ahead of a challenging season in both the Bundesliga and the European Champions League. “I’m excited about joining Flensburg-Handewitt,” Gottfridsson said. “They have a strong team and a winning mentality, which aligns perfectly with my ambitions. I can’t wait to contribute to their success and help them challenge for trophies.” The move to Flensburg marks a significant chapter in Gottfridsson’s career. He has spent his entire professional life in Sweden, winning seven Swedish Championships and five Swedish Cups with Ystads IF. However, the opportunity to compete at the highest level in Europe was too tempting to pass up. “Jim Gottfridsson is a player who can make a difference on the court,” said Flensburg-Handewitt coach Maik Machulla. “He has proven his quality at the highest level for many years. His experience and skills will be invaluable to our team.” Gottfridsson will join Flensburg-Handewitt in the summer of 2023. His arrival is expected to bolster the team’s title aspirations and further enhance the quality of the Bundesliga, which is already renowned as one of the most competitive leagues in the world.
