2024 European Men's Handball Championship qualification
This article describes the qualification process for the EHF EURO 2024 and EHF Euro Cup. In total 32 teams competed for 20 places at the final tournament, while 4 teams contested the EHF Euro Cup.
Format Edit
Prior to the qualifiers, four teams were automatically qualified:[1]
- Germany as a host
- three best placed teams from 2022 European Men's Handball Championship
Originally, the qualification process was about to start with Phase 1 in March 2021.[2] The two best-placed teams from that phase would qualify for the relegation round along with the winner of the 2021 edition of the IHF Emerging Nations Championship. However, after postponing the Qualification Phase 1 and cancellation of the IHF Emerging Nations Championship, both caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, those two tournaments were merged into 2021 Men's IHF/EHF Trophy. The three best-ranked teams from that tournament qualified for the relegation round.
Relegation Round involved eight teams:
- three entries from the IHF/EHF Trophy,
- Luxembourg as the best ranked team according EHF ranking which haven't participate in the final phase of the previous qualification
- Four worst-ranked fourth placed teams from the EHF EURO 2022 qualifiers
The four winners advanced to the qualifiers – the latest stage of this qualification campaign.
Qualifiers will involved 32 teams:
- four teams advanced from the relegation round
- eight remaining teams from the EHF EURO 2022 qualifiers which failed to qualify for the final tournament
- twenty teams which participated at EHF EURO 2022, but not directly qualified for EHF EURO 2024
Qualification phase 1 Edit
Since only four teams would have participated in this round, no draw was needed.[3] This phase was planned to be played in a tournament format.[4] On 15 February 2021 the EHF announced that the tournament was postponed to 30 April to 2 May due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
On 26 March 2021, the Qualification Phase 1 was cancelled and replaced with the IHF/EHF Trophy.[6]
IHF/EHF Trophy Edit
After the 2021 IHF Emerging Nations Championship was cancelled, the EHF announced in March 2021, that the IHF/EHF Trophy would take place in Tbilisi, Georgia, from 14 to 19 June 2021.[6] The three best teams qualified for the relegation round.[7]
Relegation round Edit
The four worst-ranked fourth placed teams from the previous cycle join in this round.[8] The draw took place on 19 August 2021, when the teams will be paired in four two-legged ties.[9][10]
Seeding Edit
The seeding was announced on 18 August 2021.[11] Teams relegated from the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship qualification were placed into the seeding pot 2.
