Sports
For several years Herning has hosted numerous sports events and championships. Everything from road cycling to ultimate frisbee, ping pong, squash and triathlon. Since 2007 the Municipality of Herning has deliberately focused on being home to international sports events.
When talking about sport and Herning, you cannot get around handball finals, Herning has several times hosted those. European and World Champions for women and men have been held in the city.
The “H” in Herning could also stand for horse instead of handball – and hockey of course. Herning initially hosted the World Championship for Icelandic horses in 2003. Since then the four-legged creatures have charmed the city repeatedly - the annual World Cup in Herning and the triple European Championship in 2013, among others. 2025 we look forward to hosting part of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.
