SUMMARY: All 24 teams for Men's EHF EURO 2024 confirmed
Last stop on the Road to Germany: The Men's EHF EURO 2024 Qualifiers concluded with round 6 on Sunday, seeing all 16 matches being played simultaneously. The last eight open spots for the final tournament have now been confirmed as well, with three debutants – Faroe Islands, Greece, and Georgia – among the 24-team field for the European Championship next January.
We lost in Greece so we knew this game would decide if we were first-ranked or third-ranked, so it was a big game. We managed it well. We are really a team, the team feeling is really big. Just a big group of friends.
To qualify for the EHF EURO is very important for us because in our country this sport is not very popular. After this achievement, we can make it bigger. Holland were a very good team, but in the end we take the ticket for the European Championship and we are very happy with it. It is an amazing day for us.
It was a step forward, but also a little bit hard for us that Spain came back into the game. The atmosphere was great; always when we play at home, the German men and women support us and that is very great. They stand behind us and we are already looking forward to the next matches we play at home.
It was like two different games. The first half was for Germany, they played well, but we didn't show up. At half-time we said to ourselves we need to show character, to compete – that's our DNA, that's why we have succeeded in the past.
