Julie Mathiesen Scaglione (born 20 August 2004) is a Danish handball player who plays for Team Esbjerg in the Damehåndboldligaen and the Danish national team.[1][2]

Club career

Scaglione started playing handball at her local club Ry Håndbold, followed by Skanderborg Håndbold and Ikast Håndbold.[3] She made her senior debut on 21 February 2021 in an EHF Cup match against Paris 92.[4][5] In the Danish League she did however have to wait for her debut match, as she had not even reached the minimum age. She made her league debut on 1 September 2021.[4][6]

With Ikast she won the 2023 European League.

In January 2024 she suffered an knee cruciate ligament injury in a match against Skanderborg Håndbold, which kept her out for the rest of the 2023/24 season.[7][8] Despite her injury, she extended her contract at Ikast in October 2024 until 2027.[9] 15 months after her injury she made a comeback in the European League semifinal match against HSG Blomberg-Lippe.[10] She was the top scorer in that match with 5 goals.[11]

In the 2025-26 season, she was the top scorer in the Danish league. The following summer she joined league rivals Team Esbjerg.[12]

National team

She represented Denmark in the 2021 European Women's U-17 Handball Championship, placing 4th.[13] Scaglione was also included in the official All-Star team for tournament, as best left back, and was the second best goalscorer behind Russian Alina Reshetnikova.[14]

She made her debut on the Danish national team on 9 June 2022 against Slovenia.[15][16] She was also selected as part of the Danish 35-player squad for the 2021 World Women's Handball Championship in Spain.[17] At the 2023 World Championsship she won bronze medals with Denmark.[18] During the tournament she scored 11 goals.[19]

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.[20] Scaglione acted mainly as a back-up during the tournament.

Private

Her mother, Lone Mathiesen, was also a handballer and was part of the 1997 World Women's Handball Championship winning Denmark team.[21] Her father Thomas Scaglione is half italian and is also a handball player.

Her brother, Mikkel Scaglione, is a handballer for Norddjurs Håndbold in the Danish 1st Division.[22]
