Denmark, Norway, and Sweden team up for European Handball Championships bids Tuesday, 11 May 2021
Denmark, Norway and Sweden have announced a joint bid to host the European Handball Federation (EHF) European Championships in either 2026 or 2028.
The three nations are bidding for both the men’s and women’s tournaments under the name Scandinavia Connect.
The countries say their aim is to host an EHF European Championships which will have innovation at its core to capitalise on the modern-day opportunities presented to the sport due to advances in technology.
It is claimed the Scandinavian countries hosting of the event will help European handball to have a stronger future.
The Estonian men s national handball team will now almost certainly not qualify for the European Championship finals in Hungary and Slovakia next January, after losing 31-27 to Austria in its group 2 qualifying game in Tallinn Thursday evening.
The match, which took place at the Kalev Sports Hall, was the penultimate in the qualifiers and was a must-win for both teams to have a hope of qualifying for the main competition.
Estonia lies in fourth place and with two points, with one more game to go; the only way of rectifying the situation would be by beating group leaders Germany (10 points - two points are awarded for a victory - ed.), while Austria, now in third place with 4 points, would need to also defeat the second-placed team, Bosnia-Herzegovina (also 4 points). This would move Estonia up to third, but even then qualification would not be certain and would depend on how the third-placed teams in other groups fared in the last round.
