Description

Niklas Landin Jacobsen (born 19 December 1988) is a Danish handballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Aalborg Håndbold. Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of handball, he is a two-time IHF World Player of the Year (2019 and 2021)—the first player ever to win it consecutively and the only goalkeeper to claim the award twice. He served as captain of the Denmark national team from 2012 until his international retirement in 2024.

He is a European Champion (2012) and helped Denmark win Olympic gold in 2016 and 2024, silver in 2020, and three consecutive World Championships (2019, 2021, 2023). He made his senior international debut on 28 October 2008.
