Three-time European champions Denmark won silver at the Women’s EHF EURO 2022, their first European hardware for 18 years, since finishing second in 2004. They came close several times, finishing fourth in 2010, 2016 and 2020, but now, the strong squad aim to continue their good run and push for another top finish.

The past few years definitely puts them among the favourites for the title. Their bronze medal at the 2023 IHF Women's World Handball Championship, followed by another bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is just a testament to their strength.

Denmark are heading into their 16th Women's EHF EURO with confidence, having qualified flawlessly by topping group 8 with four straight wins against Poland and Kosovo. With Jesper Jensen still at the helm, the Danish squad is holding onto the core of the team that has proven itself time and again. Any newcomers have blended in perfectly and provided additional depth. Jensen, who took over in 2020, has brought renewed stability and a recognisable style of play and now they are eager to convert their recent momentum into a successful run at his third European championship.

The Danish squad relies heavily on players from the Danish league, playing in top clubs like Team Esbjerg, Odense Håndbold and Ikast Håndbold, alongside players shining in European powerhouses such as Györi Audi-ETO KC, CSM Bucuresti and Metz Handball. Jensen has left goalkeeper Sandra Toft out of the squad that travels to Basel, but Denmark still boasts a superb goalkeeping duo in the shape of Anna Kristensen and Althea Reinhardt, so Denmark's solid defence and deadly attack could be their ticket for Vienna.

Clashing with Croatia, Switzerland and the Faroe Islands in group D should provide Denmark with a challenge, but they are certainly the group favourites.
