Austria's handball women aim at EM qualification 2026!
Austria's handball women's team has found an exciting outcome in the qualification for the EM 2026. At the draw in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, the ÖHB selection from pot two was drawn into a group with Spain, Greece and Israel. Trainer Monique Tijsterman is pleased with the lot and sees chances of success after the youngest duel against Spain (25:32). "I am pleased that we were drawn to Spain and I am looking forward to the challenge against Greece and Israel," she said.
The qualification phase for the European Championship will be decisive, because the first two teams from each group and the four best group thirds qualify for the tournament, which takes place in December 2026 in Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Turkey. The first games start in October. ÖHB sports director Patrick Fölser has a clear goal: "Our goal is the Euro 2026. We have our chances against every nation in this group." Austria is also under pressure because two play-off games against Turkey are already pending for the World Cup 2025, which will be held on April 10th and 13th.
