Denmark finally won the EHF EURO for the first time since 2012!

🇩🇰🇩🇪 Denmark forced Germany once again to many long distance shots. Even though GER was able to keep Gidsel & Pytlick combined at just 15/26 their Uscins, Knorr & Köster shot just 11/25 which just isn't enough to have a chance. #handball

The best of the semi-finals and match for 5th place. ##ehfeuro2026 ##handball

The final is set!

🇩🇰🇮🇸 An outstanding offensive performance by both teams, where both shot outstanding from the field but had problems from seven metres. The fewer turnovers made the difference for Denmark. #ehfeuro2026 #handball

🇩🇪🇭🇷 The first time Germany's opponents shot from longer distance in positional attack than Germany did! Germanys pace with many empty net goals and once again the shot making helped them to win. #handball #ehfeuro2026

🇩🇰🇳🇴 A great game by Denmark on both ends in all aspects. #ehfeuro2026 #handballl

🇩🇪🇫🇷 Great offensive game! Germany shot once a gain a lot from distance but this time made their shots. On the other side they kept France at their second slowest and their second fewest fast possessions (the first in both was their game against Denmark). #ehfeuro2026 #handball

Update on the probabilities before the last game day of the semi-finals. Denmark continues to be the clear favorite, but the fight for the other three semi-final spots is extremely exciting.

🇨🇭🇮🇸 All offense, barely any defence at a very high pace was Switzerland vs. Iceland. Both teams shot very well and overperformed their xG, Switzerland, however, more significantly. #ehfeuro2026 #handball

The very exiting Group I continues!

🇩🇪🇩🇰 A lot of distance shooting once again by Germany and this time they couldn't make them. Denmark also had problems and couldn't create as good shots as normally, but Germany's offence wasn't good enough. #ehfeuro2026 #handball
January 26, 2026 at 9:24 PM
The best from yesterday's games!

#ehfeuro2026 #handball

It goes on an on!

🇨🇭🇭🇷 Switzerland started good again, but in the end they had just too many turnovers. #ehfeuro2026 #handball
January 25, 2026 at 11:26 PM
Another gameday is in the books!

🇩🇪🇳🇴 Andi Wolff completely carried the German team, who this time struggled a lot at shot making. Both teams played very fast but couldn't exploit that at all. #ehfeuro2026 #handball

The first matches of the second main round group.

🇸🇮🇸🇪 Sweden took care very wel of the ball and lost it much less. Eight minutes with one player more also helped. #ehfeuro2026 #handball

The main round started with three extremely interesting matches!

🇩🇪🇵🇹 Again Germany shot a lot from distance and again they clearly overperformed their xG. This goes hand in hand with the the clearly better goalkeeping. The Costa brothers were not enough for Portugal. #ehfeuro2026 #handball

Update before the start of the main round. France is the biggest winner overall, Denmark the biggest loser but still the favourite. But overall obviously the teams going in with two points have improved their probabilities.

🇸🇪🇭🇷 A great game by Palicka was the foundation for Sweden's win. In the end, they were better in every aspect. #handball #ehfeuro2026
