Lukas Jörgensen leaves SG Flensburg-Handewitt: A new adventure!

A new wind is blowing at the handball Bundesliga team SG Flensburg-Handewitt. Luka Jörgensen, the Danish pivot, will leave the SG after his contract ends in the summer of 2026. This news was announced by the club's management on Thursday and has already caused some excitement among the fans. The 26-year-old, who only came to Flensburg for the 2023/24 season, is expected to move to the top Hungarian club Veszprém HC.

SG managing director Holger Glandorf expressed his respect for Jörgensen's decision. He said that they would have liked to continue working with the talented player and had tried everything to convince him, but they accepted his desire for a new challenge. Jörgensen himself describes the coming change as a “new adventure” and sees the summer of 2026 as the perfect time for this step.

A career full of successes

Born on March 31, 1999 in Lejre, Denmark, Luka Jörgensen has had an impressive career in handball. After his youth days at Roskilde Håndbold and GOG Håndbold, the 1.94 meter tall pivot made his league debut in 2018. He gained experience at Aarhus Håndbold and then returned to GOG, where he became Danish champion in 2022 and 2023. Through his skills and achievements, he has not only made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, but also shown himself in the national team - he won the gold medal at the 2023 and 2025 World Championships and was also part of the all-star team at the 2024 Olympic Games.

With his impressive record of 30 appearances and 88 goals for the Danish national team, he has firmly established himself, which of course doesn't go unnoticed by the home fans.

A respected farewell

Jörgensen's farewell will not only affect the fans, but also his teammates. He has already announced that he will give everything to SG Flensburg-Handewitt until he moves on and is looking forward to the upcoming games. The duel against the Füchse Berlin on the third matchday of the Handball Bundesliga, who face arch-rivals Magdeburg, will be particularly explosive. The home game against Kiel on October 11th will also be important for Jörgensen and the entire team, as it could be the last chance to prove themselves in front of the home crowd.

From now on, SG Flensburg-Handewitt will have to make a fresh start, but the expectations are high. The team is looking forward to the future and will do everything in its power to compensate as best as possible for the loss of a key player like Jörgensen.

All in all, Jörgensen leaves a gap that will not be filled any time soon. Who knows, perhaps his successor will soon enjoy the same level of success as the Dane, who is now setting off on a “new adventure”. The handball world remains excited.
