DHB frustration and France triumph: This is how the last day of the 2024 European Handball Championship went. France is European handball champion for the fourth time! The French won the European Championship final against the reigning world champions on Sunday in Cologne 33:31 after extra time.

Sweden previously secured the bronze medal in the game for third place against hosts Germany and the direct ticket to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Germany has already qualified for the 2025 Handball World Cup in Denmark, Croatia and Norway.
