FOREWORD

Dear Media Representative,

The 13th edition of the Women’s EHF European Handball Championship, the EHF EURO 2018, will be hosted by France from 29 November to 16 December 2018. However, as we know, the road to the final tournament is long and already starts at the end of September 2017. The EHF EURO 2018 Qualification will be played out over six rounds in the months until June 2018.

28 teams have made it to this second qualification phase and were placed into seven groups at the draw event in Paris on 21 April 2017. They are now preparing and training hard for the decisive matches that will take 15 national teams to France 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 will proceed to the final tournament.

France as the organisers are already qualified. In anticipation of the media attention surrounding the qualification matches in the hosting European cities, all our 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 as 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 France in December 2018.

Michael WiedererEHF President

QUALIFICATION INFORMATION

The Women’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification, starting from September 2017, will be played by 28 national teams from across Europe.

These 28 teams are: Austria, Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Faroe Islands, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Kosovo, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Serbia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine.

France as host nation of the Women’s EHF EURO are directly qualified.

At the qualification draw in April 2017 the 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams each. These groups are:

Group 1 Norway, Croatia, Ukraine, Switzerland

Group 2 Montenegro, Poland, Slovakia, Italy

Group 3 Sweden, Serbia, FYR Macedonia, Faroe Islands

Group 4 Romania, Russia, Austria, Portugal

Group 5 Denmark, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Iceland

Group 6 Spain, Germany, Turkey, Lithuania

Group 7 Netherlands, Hungary, Belarus, Kosovo

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 qualification matches will be played

• Round 1 & 2 from 27 September to 1 October 2017

• Round 3 & 4 from 21 to 25 March 2018

• Round 5 & 6 from 30 May to 3 June 2018

The teams ranked first and second of each group and the best third ranked team of all groups qualify for the Women’s EHF EURO 2018 in France. To determine the best third ranked team overall, only the results of the matches against the first and second ranked teams in the respective group will be taken into account.

The final tournament will be played over 18 days from 29 November to 16 December 2018. For the first time at a Women’s EHF EURO the main round will be 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.

The European Handball Federation boosts its coverage of the upcoming Women’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification by showing all 28 qualifiers of the first two rounds live and on demand on its online TV platform, ehfTV.

After only selected matches had been streamed during previous qualification campaigns, this is the first time that all EHF EURO qualifiers can be watched by handball fans around the world on ehfTV.

Round 1 and 2 of the Women’s EHF EURO 2018 Qualification throw off on Wednesday, 27 September with all 28 teams taking to the court twice until Sunday, 1 October.

Apart from France, who enjoy the advantage of direct qualification as hosts of the Women’s EHF EURO 2018, all European powerhouses of women’s handball will be in action.

In Group 1, defending EHF EURO and current world champions Norway face Ukraine on 27 September and Switzerland on 1 October.

TICKET SALES AND A NEW PLAYING SCHEDULE

Compared to previous Women’s EHF EURO events, there are two major changes at the final tournament in France. The championship will start already on 29 November with a match of hosts France at 21:00 hrs in Group B as the event’s official opener.

Matches have been scheduled for 18:00 and 21:00 hrs respectively on weekdays and for 15:00 and 18:00 hrs respectively on the weekend in the preliminary round.

The same schedule applies to the main round. On days when three matches are being played, the first match starts at 15:45 hrs, the second at 18:00 hrs and the third at 21:00 hrs.

The semi-finals take place on Friday, 14 December at 18:00 and 21:00 hrs in Paris; the match for third place throws off at 15:00 hrs on Sunday, 16 December, the final at 18:00 hrs the same day.

The longer gap between the matches and the allocation of throw-off times more than a year ahead of the final tournament allows for the sale of individual match tickets rather than tickets that are valid for the entire day as in previous EHF EUROs.

Ticket sales for the Women’s EHF EURO 2018 will start on 27 September 2017. Tickets will be exclusively available via the ticket shop on ehf-euro.com.

The five cities chosen to host the Women’s EHF EURO 2018 lie in France’s east and west and in its heart as the capital Paris hosts the final weekend.

Nancy, the 100,000-inhabitants capital of the Département Meurthe-et-Moselle, is only some kilometres away from France’s borders with Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany in the nation’s north-east. The Palais de Sports Jean Weille will host matches of Group A in the preliminary round as well as in the main round. A bit less than 200 kilometres south and close to the French-Swiss border is Montbéliard. The city will host matches in Group C of the preliminary round.

Over on the other side, Nantes, a double host of the Men’s EHF Cup Finals, will welcome the teams for Group B in the preliminary round and the main round. Brest on the very north-westerly tip of France hosts the teams of Group D in the preliminary round.

The final weekend will take place in the 15,000-capacity AccorHotels Arena in Paris.
