The 2020 European Women's Handball Championship was held from 3 to 20 December 2020. The games were played in Herning and Kolding, Denmark. [1] [2]

Originally, this tournament would be held with 2 host countries: Norway and Denmark. However, lacking some time for the beginning, Norway renounced the right to seat, respecting the local legislation about the COVID-19 pandemic. [3]

The tournament was also one of the qualification events for the 2021 World Women's Handball Championship. It was also played behind closed doors due to the pandemic. [4]

Norway won the tournament for the eighth time after defeating France in the final. [5] Croatia won the third place game to capture their first ever medal. [6]

Bidding process

The bids were as follows: [7]

In December 2013, these were announced as the bids: [8]

The joint bid of Denmark and Norway was recommended as the preferred bid. [9] Shortly after, Denmark and Norway decided to merge their bids. They were announced as the hosts in Dublin on 20 September 2014. [10]

Venues

On 9 September 2020, the Norwegian Handball Federation announced, that all games scheduled to take place in Norway, would be played in Trondheim, [11] while on 6 November, the Danish Handball Federation announced, that all games scheduled to take place in Denmark, would be played in Jyske Bank Boxen, Herning. [12] On 16 November, Norway withdrew altogether for health reasons. [3] Danish Sydbank Arena then announced a wish to co-host the tournament together with Herning and this was approved of by the Danish government on 23 November 2020. [13]
