Austria's handball players against Historic Duel against Norway!

Innsbruck, Österreich - in Innsbruck is a handball highlight today, while Austria's women's handball team has to compete against the almost overwhelming Norwegians. The spectators can look forward to an exciting game, because the reigning world handball player Henny Reitstad comes to the stadium. The delegation from Norway, known as a true handball monster, has won four of the last five European Championship titles in recent years and also won the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. Austria fights for his second victory at the home European Championship, which is called "handball miracle", as [kicker.at] reports.

The trainer Monique Tijsterman has clear instructions for your team: you should concentrate on your strengths, play long attacks and avoid misbeoderns. "We are only allowed to make a few mistakes," emphasizes Tijsterman, since the Norwegians mercilessly punish all carelessness. Austria only won three times in 13 competition games against the Norwegians, most recently at the home World Cup in 1995. Now the roles are clearly distributed, and the Austrian team has to give everything to counter the current world champions.

The challenge against Norway

"Norway could play with a second team around the European Championship title," said Tijsterman about the strong opponent team. Leading players such as Restad and goalkeeper legend Katrine Lunde represent special challenges. Johanna Reichert, who scored eight goals in the last game against Slovakia, is optimistic and wants to deliver an exciting game with her team. "We can show what we can do," she says, announcing that discipline and patience are asked to heat Norway.

The Austrian team not only needs a closed team performance this evening at 6 p.m. (CET), but also a portion of luck to keep an opportunity in Group E. In order to move into the main round in Vienna, second place is needed, and the game against Slovenia on Monday could decide - a firework of emotions is guaranteed as long as it is possible to challenge the Norwegians today, as [sportkrone.at] reported.
