The last day in the Wiener Stadthalle will throw off with reigning world champions and 2022 EURO bronze medallists, France, pit sides with Hungary who are back among the top four teams after 12 years.
The pinnacle of the European championship will see the rematch of the 2022 final, as defending title holders Norway and EHF EURO 2022 runners-up Denmark meet again in another exciting clash. In 2022 in Ljubljana, Norway won 27:25 and raised their ninth trophy, leaving Denmark with their third-ever silver.
FINAL
Denmark vs Norway
Sunday 13 December, 18:00 CET, live on EHFTV
this is a rematch of the EHF EURO 2022 final, won 27:25 by Norway; Norway also won the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship semi-finals against Denmark
to qualify for the final, Norway beat Hungary 30:22, with Henny Reistad netting seven times and Katrine Lunde saving 11 shots at 42.3 per cent save efficiency
Denmark booked their ticket to the final after a tough fight against France, winning 24:22 boosted by Anna Kristensen’s strong performance — 16 saves at 43.2 per cent save efficiency
this is Norway’s third consecutive final, and 13th overall; they have lost only three final games, in 1996, 2002 and 2012
Denmark are playing their second straight final; the last time they raised the trophy was in 2002
Norway are already record EHF EURO champions with nine previous titles, three silver medals and one bronze, while Denmark have won the European championship three times
Norway are the only team that has not been beaten since the beginning of the tournament; Denmark were only defeated by Norway in the first game of the main round, 24:27
Denmark are three goals away from their 3,000th EHF EURO goal. Norway are the only side to have passed that milestone, and the winning goal in the semi-final was their 3,501st
goalkeeper Lunde will fight for her seventh trophy with Norway after previously winning in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2020 and 2022; wing Camilla Herrem is hunting her sixth European title
this will be the last time Thorir Hergeirsson leads Norway; he is stepping down after 15 years as Norway’s head coach and 23 as part of the senior women’s coaching staff
the final is the 16th time the two sides will meet at the EHF EURO, and their sixth final; Norway hold 11 wins, while Denmark beat them on five occasions, including in the 2002 final
