How Euro Handball works
Euro Handball is a very special competition. It is divided into three stages, with the Preliminary Round, the Main Round and then the Final Phase.
The Preliminary Round takes place between 10 and 16 January 2024 sees the 24 nations are divided into 6 groups of 4 teams, with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the next stage which is the Main Round.
This sees the remaining 12 teams divided into 2 groups of 6 (Group I and Group II). At the end of this second phase (played from 17 to 24 January), the top two teams in each group qualify for the knockout semi-finals.
This third and final round, often referred to as the Final Weekend or Final Phase, features the match for fifth place between the third-placed teams in each Main Round group, the semi-finals and then the grand final. A match for third place is also played between the two beaten semi-finalists. This Final Weekend takes place from 26 to 28 January 2024. Quite a programme.
- Preliminary Round | 10-16 January | 24 teams entered (12 qualified)
- Main Round | 17-24 January | 12 participating teams (6 qualified, including 4 for the semi-finals)
- Final Weekend | 26-28 January | Match 5th place - Semi-finals - Match 3rd place - Final
