Career

Peter Balling started his senior career at Mors-Thy Håndbold, where he played for three years before moving to league rivals Skanderborg Håndbold. In 2015 he moved to TTH Holstebro. Here he won the Danish Supercup in 2018.[4]

He played two seasons at KIF Kolding. In the 2021-22 he scored a crucial goal with 7 seconds remaining against TTH Holstebro, which prevented relegation for KIF.[5] The following summer he then moved to Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Håndbold in 2022, citing the possibility to win medals with the club as the reason.[6]

He made his debut for the Danish national team in June 2015.[7]
