Michala Elsberg Møller (born 16 February 2000) is a Danish handball player for Team Esbjerg and the Danish national team.[1][2][3]

Career

[edit]

Møller played youth handball at AIK Vejgaard and EH Aalborg. In 2018 she joined Herning-Ikast Håndbold.[4] Here she played in the U18 team for one season, before being promoted to the first team.[5][6] In her first season she won the Danish Cup.[7]

In 2021 she joined league rivals Team Esbjerg.[8] Here she won the Danish Championship in 2023 and 2024 and the Danish Cup in 2021 and 2022.

From the 2026–27 season she will join Hungarian Ferencvaros.[9]

National Team

[edit]

She represented Denmark in the 2017 European Women's U-17 Handball Championship, 2018 Women's Youth World Handball Championship, and in the 2019 Women's Junior European Handball Championship, placing 6th all three times.[10]

She represented Denmark at the 2021 World Women's Handball Championship in Spain[11] and at the 2023 World Women's Handball Championship at home. At the 2024 Olympics she won a bronze medal.[12] Later the same year, she won silver medals at the 2024 European Championship, losing to Norway in the final.[13]

At the 2025 World Women's Handball Championship Denmark went out in the quarterfinal to France after winning all matches in the group stages. The Danish team was affected by a lot of players missing the tournament including goalkeepers Sandra Toft and Althea Reinhardt and pivots Sarah Iversen and Rikke Iversen. This was the first time since 2019 that Denmark left a major international tournament without any medals.[14]
