2024 European Men's Handball Championship qualification
This article describes the qualification process for the EHF EURO 2024. In total 36 teams will compete for 20 remaining places at the final tournament.
Format
Prior to the qualifiers, four teams will be 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 this would qualify for the relegation round along with the winner of the 2021 edition of the IHF Emerging Nations Championship. However, after postponing of the Qualification Phase 1 and cancellation of 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 involves 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 advance to the qualifiers – the latest stage of this qualification campaign.
Qualifiers will involve 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
Teams will compete for 20 places at EHF EURO 2024.
Qualification Phase 1
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
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]
