Only two players in the All-star Team were part of the selection at previous EHF EUROs. Danish Mathias Gidsel receives a second consecutive award as best right back of the tournament, while German goalkeeper Andreas Wolff was in the All-star Team at EHF EURO 2016 in Poland, when his team won its last major title.
French line player Ludovic Fabregas was part of the All-star Team at the last two IHF Men’s World Championships, but his award is his first All-star Team nod at the EHF EURO. The same goes for Sweden’s Hampus Wanne, who was elected best left wing of the 2021 World Championship, but has never been part of an EHF EURO All-star Team previously.
Martim Costa, jointly the best scorer of the tournament with 54 goals, makes his first appearance in the All-star Team for his first EHF EURO tournament with Portugal. Another player who is not part of the final weekend is also part of the All-star Team: Austrian right wing Robert Weber.
Gidsel levelled with Costa with eight goals scored during the final, to share the top scorer award. It is the first time there has been more than one top scorer since 2008, when three players all scored 44 goals.
The team was decided based on over 20,000 fan votes on the Home of Handball app and input from EHF experts.
