men’s – has earned its reputation of being<br />

the most challenging tournament in the<br />

world of handball.<br />

The future of this outstanding event has<br />

already begun, with the 12th Women’s<br />

EHF EURO due to start very soon: From<br />

4 to 18 December, Svenska Handbollförbundet<br />

will be playing host to the best<br />

women’s teams of Europe due to compete<br />

in Stockholm, Kristianstad, Malmö, Helsingborg<br />

and Gothenburg. Judging by the<br />

performance that was on display in Sweden<br />

in 2006, the upcoming event is likely<br />

to break new records – particularly as the<br />

home team led by Isabell Gulldén, this<br />

year’s Champions League winner, will be<br />

among the favourites and eager to end the<br />

predominance of their Norwegian neighbours.<br />

In December 2018, the Fédération<br />

Française de Handball (FFHB) will welcome<br />

the best national teams taking<br />

part in a Women’s EHF EURO. Two years<br />

later, Denmark and Norway will again<br />

be hosting a mega-event. With hosts like<br />

these, one does not have to be a prophet<br />

to forecast a bright future for this<br />

tournament.<br />
