FOREWORD

Dear Media Representative,

The 13th edition of the Men’s EHF European Handball Championship, the EHF EURO 2018, will be hosted by Croatia from 12 to 28 January 2018.

However, as we know, the road to the final tournament is long. The EHF EURO 2018 Qualification is to be played out over six rounds in the months of November 2016 as well as in May and June 2017.

28 teams have made it to this second qualification phase and were placed into seven groups at the draw event in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on 14 April 2016, and they are now preparing and training hard for the decisive matches that will take 15 national teams to Croatia to join the hosts for the final tournament.

Playing in a round-robin system (home and away), the teams ranked first and second plus the best third ranked team overall at the end of the qualification in June 2017 will proceed to the final tournament. Croatia as the organisers are already qualified.

In anticipation of the media attention surrounding the qualification matches in the hosting European cities, handball stakeholders can expect spectacular sportsmanship, uncountable thrills and passion - not only from the players - but also from the fans in the arenas.

For you, the media, the EHF Media and Communications Department has prepared this media guide which not only provides you with an overview of all 28 teams participating, but also gives you an extensive overview of the teams’ records, such a biggest win or most goals scored in an EHF EURO qualifier, as well as all head-to-head statistics for the seven qualification groups.

The European Handball Federation is looking forward to working once again with our longstanding media partner: INFRONT Sports & Media – where EHF EURO cooperation dates back to the men’s inaugural event in 1994 in Portugal.

With the intention of reaching an ever wider audience, especially on TV, the EHF will continue to use the harmonised advertising set-up in all hosting arenas designed to present the optimal handball experience.

On behalf of the European Handball Federation, I take this opportunity to wish the teams participating in the EHF EURO 2018 Qualification, in the spirit of Fair Play, the best of luck and I hope to welcome you in Croatia in January 2018.

Jean BrihaultEHF President

QUALIFICATION INFORMATIONThe Men’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification, starting from November 2016, will be played by 28 national teams from across Europe.

These 28 teams are: Austria, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and Ukraine.

Croatia as organisers are directly qualified.

At the qualification draw in April 2016 the 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams each. These groups are:

Group 1 Denmark, Hungary, Netherlands, Latvia

Group 2 Poland, Belarus, Serbia, Romania

Group 3 Spain, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Finland

Group 4 Iceland, FYR Macedonia, Czech Republic, Ukraine

Group 5 Germany, Slovenia, Portugal, Switzerland

Group 6 Sweden, Russia, Montenegro, Slovakia

Group 7 France, Norway, Lithuania, Belgium

The qualification will be played in a round-robin system with each team facing its respective opponents in one home and one away match.

The first qualification matches will be played in November 2016. Rounds 3 and 4 will be played in May 2017, Rounds 5 and 6 in June 2017.

The teams ranked first and second of each group and the best third ranked team of all groups qualify for the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 in Croatia.

Just like at the EHF EURO 2016 in Poland, the matches of the final tournament will be played over 17 days from 12 to 28 January 2018. This change sees the main round played over seven instead of five days, with three of the four match days played with two matches per day instead of three matches.

The aim is to make the competition more attractive to television and fans as well as giving players more rest between matches.

For nine teams the qualification to the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 started as early as October 2014. Belgium, Greece, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Estonia, Georgia, Romania, Italy and Kosovo had been drawn to three groups of three teams each and formed the core of the first qualification phase.

After six games had been played in each group, Belgium, Luxembourg and Romania emerged as the three group winners and advanced to the intermediate play-offs in which they met Turkey, Finland and Israel, the three lowest ranked teams from the qualification to the Men’s EHF EURO 2016.

The play-offs were played in a double-header format at the beginning of April 2016, just days out of the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification Draw in Dubrovnik.

The three winners were Finland, Romania and Belgium and joined the 25 teams already seeded for the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification.

EHF EURO 2018 VENUES

The four venues chosen for the Men’s EHF EURO 2018 are all located in different areas of Croatia. The Arena Zagreb in the nation’s capital and in the heart of the country is the tournament’s main venue, hosting matches in the preliminary and the main round as well as the final weekend.

The Spaladium Arena in Split, at Croatia’s southern tip, is the second-biggest venue chosen. It will host matches in the preliminary round. The two other venues are the Žatika Sport Centre in Poreč, located in Croatia’s north-west on the Adriatic coast, and the City Hall in Varaždin (preliminary and main round venue), located in the country’s north only a few kilometres away from Slovenia.

The Zagreb Arena as well as Varaždin’s City Hall were also already venues of choice for the Women’s EHF EURO 2014 in Hungary and Croatia.
