In 38 months, the biggest ever Men’s EHF EURO event will throw off in Norway, Sweden and Austria.
On Wednesday, the first four nations start their ‘mission 2020’: Turkey and Kosovo in Group B and Italy and Georgia in Group C of the first qualification stage. Both sides will face each other again on Sunday.
In total, nine nations in three groups contest the first three tickets to the next qualification stage, with only the group winners proceeding from this phase. Groups B and C are played in home and away matches, while Group A meet for a tournament in Faroe Islands from 13 to 15 January 2017.
The other possibility for phase 1 teams to qualify for the second stage of EHF EURO 2020 Qualification is the European IHF Trophy, which will take place in June 2017.
The six teams that do not qualify from the first phase will join this tournament, for which nine other nations not contesting EHF EURO 2020 Qualification Phase 1 are also registered.
The EHF live ticker is available at ticker.ehf.eu.
