Bidding processes

First bidding process

Originally, there were two bids for the EHF Women's Euro 2024. [2]

On 5 September 2017, Russia's bid was the only bid left. [3]

However, later on, when the bids were announced for the 2022 and 2024 EHF Euros, Russia's bid was withdrawn and thus there were no applications left. On 20 June 2018, the day the host was supposed to be confirmed, the EHF voted to delay the awardment of the hosting rights. [4] [5]

Second bidding process

In April 2019, the EHF reopened the bidding process. On 20 September 2019, there were 3 new bids. [6]

The host announcement took place on 25 January 2020 at the EHF Extraordinary Congress in Stockholm. The winners were Austria, Hungary and Switzerland, who defeated the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia bid, 28–21, in the second round. [1] [7]

Possible hosting change

On 12 January 2023, the Hungarian government's chancellery minister, Gergely Gulyás, announced that Hungary would withdraw as hosts due to financial reasons. [8] A few days prior, the Austrian Handball Federation was informed by the Hungarians about the decision to withdraw. The other co-hosts, Austria and Switzerland, now wanted to negotiate with the EHF about how the tournament will be held. [9] On 28 January, the European Handball Federation released a statement concerning the issue, and said that they were amazed and surprised with the decision to potentially withdraw as co-hosts. [10] On 16 March 2023, the EHF announced a change to the organisation structure of the championships. Hungary remained as a co-host, but played a reduced part in the hosting of the competition, including the whole portion of the tournament at the MVM Dome in Budapest (one Main Round group and the Final Weekend) being axed and replaced by Vienna. [11] During all the uncertainty, Romania had stated that they would be able to host the tournament if the original hosts could not. [12]

Venues

The final weekend was scheduled to be held at the MVM Dome in Budapest, Hungary, but later it was replaced with the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria. [13] [14]

Expansion

Expanding the competition, to 20 or 24 teams, was first considered on 30 August 2018. The idea was proposed by the Euro Delegation, but the EHF competitions commission strongly opposed the proposal, due to the fact that:

Despite the opposition from the competitions commission, the EHF received positive feedback from their new commercial partners, Infront and DAZN about the possible expansion. On 15 December, at the EHF Executive Committee in Paris, the EHF decided to examine to proposed expansion further. [16] In January 2019, they had introduced a working group to oversee the possible enlargement. [17] On 5 April 2019, based on the recommendations by the working group, the EHF officially decided to expand the tournament to 24 teams. [17] [18]

31 teams registered for participation and competed for 20 places at the final tournament. Great Britain withdraw late which would have been the 32nd team. The teams were drawn into seven groups of four and one group with three teams. The top-two placed teams in each group qualified for the final tournament, alongside the four best-ranked third-placed teams, not counting the matches against fourth-placed teams. The qualifiers draw took place on 20 April 2023 in Zürich, Switzerland. Qualification started in October 2023 and ended in April 2024.

All 16 teams from the 2022 edition qualified, including North Macedonia who qualified for a major handball competition on merit for the first time since 2012. Debuting in the first 24 team championship are Faroe Islands and Turkey, with the former becoming the smallest nation ever to qualify for the finals.

Czech Republic return after missing the 2022 edition. The teams returning after long absences include co-hosts Austria (first time since 2008), Iceland (first time since 2012) plus Slovakia and Ukraine, who both return after last appearing at the Euro ten years ago in 2014. Portugal qualified for only their second ever major handball tournament after only participating at the 2008 European Women's Handball Championship.

Denmark were the first team to secure qualification after defeating Poland in February, [19] while the Danes, Germany, Hungary and Norway all continue their flawless record of making every European Championship.

The 2012 European Women's Handball Championship was held in Serbia from 4 to 16 December.
