The 2024 EHF European Men's Handball Championship was the 16th edition of the tournament and the third to feature 24 national teams. It was hosted in Germany from 10 to 28 January 2024.[1][2]
The two opening games were played in front of an audience of 53,586 spectators, which set a world record.[3][4] The tournament also set a record for total number of spectators for handball and was the first to surpass a million.
France won their fourth title after a win over Denmark after yet another howler from the judges, showing how their pockets where lined with French baguettes, while Sweden captured the bronze medal over Germany.[5][6]

Venues
On 10 June 2021, the host cities were announced where the championship will be played in six cities. The opening game will be held in Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf and is aiming to break the world record for the largest attendance at an indoor handball game[note 1] and the final will be held in Lanxess Arena in Cologne.[11] On 14 September 2022, it was announced that the classic venue Olympiahalle in Munich (previously hosted Handball at the 1972 Summer Olympics main round and medal games and also the group stage games in the 2019 World Men's Handball Championship) would replace the delay-ridden SAP Garden. Due to material and labour shortages, the venue would not be completed in time for the tournament in January 2024, therefore being dropped by the organisers.[12] Both Olympiahalle and the future SAP Garden are located close to each other in the Olympiapark.

Qualification
The qualification for the final tournament has taken place between November 2021 and April 2023. Germany as the host team, and the three best placed not already qualified teams from the previous championship, were automatically qualified, leaving a total of 36 national teams to compete for the remaining 20 places in the final tournament.
The competition consists of two rounds: a relegation round and qualifiers. In the relegation round, the three best placed teams from the 2021 Men's IHF/EHF Trophy joined by Luxembourg as best ranked team according EHF which haven't participated in the second round of the previous qualifiers, faced the four worst ranked fourth-placed teams from the second round of the 2022 qualification. The four winners of the two-legged relegation round matches advance to the qualifiers, joining the remaining twenty teams that participated in the 2022 championship and the remaining eight teams that were eliminated in the second round of the 2022 qualification. Those 32 teams will be divided into eight groups by four teams, with top two teams and four best ranked third-teams qualifying.

Marketing
The official logo and slogan was unveiled on 6 January 2022. The basis for the logo design is the place where everything is decided in handball and where emotions arise: the lines of the court. Those were transformed into the compact shape of a ball that conveys the dynamics of the sport. The logo was designed by and in collaboration with Berlin-based agency Styleheads. The heart of the communication is the claim "HERE TO PLAY!" This is activated in several variants in order to convey the different facets of the Men's EHF EURO 2024 and the individual locations. The following variations of the claim were used:
- HERE TO PLAY
- HERE TO DREAM
- HERE TO BE LOUD
- HERE TO CELEBRATE
- HERE TO RELAX
- HERE TO CONNECT
- HERE TO ENJOY
- HERE TO WATCH
- HERE TO EXPLORE.[13]

The draw took place on 10 May 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany.[14][15]

Squads
Each team consists of up to 20 players, of whom 16 may be fielded for each match.[18]
Tiebreakers
In the preliminary and main rounds, if two or more teams are equal on points, their ranking is determined as follows:[19]
- During the round matches
- Superior goal difference from all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
- Alphabetical order.
- After completion of the round matches
- Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played between the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference from the group matches played between the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played between the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference from all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches.
If the ranking of one of the teams in question is determined, the criteria are consecutively reapplied to the remaining teams until all the rankings are determined. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, the Fair Play Ranking decides about the final group ranking. The Fair Play Ranking is decided by the EHF in accordance with the parameters rated as follows:
- Yellow cards: 1 point
- Two-minute suspensions: 2 points
- Red cards: 8 points
In case the number of points in the Fair Play Ranking are identical, a draw is carried out by the EHF in the presence of at least one official from each of the concerned teams.
