Welcome to the MEN'S 20 EHF HANDBALL EURO 2020 in Austria & Italy

+++ NEWS ALERT +++

MEN´S 20 EHF EURO 2020 will not take place in Innsbruck and Brixen!

The MEN'S 20 EHF EURO 2020, which was originally scheduled for 2020 July 2-12 in Innsbruck (AUT) and Brixen (ITA) was canceled a few weeks ago by the European Handball Federation (EHF) due to the corona pandemic.

On April 24th the EHF announced the postponement of the M20 EURO to 2021 January 6-16/7-17 and invited the OC of Innsbruck and Brixen to check the new date and the feasibility. After intensive, in-depth examination, the financial risk for unforeseen, possibly short-term, corona-related scenarios cannot be borne by the OC alone without the support of third parties. From a purely organisational perspective, Innsbruck and Brixen would have been perfectly prepared for this major sport event.

The EHF ultimately decided to tender the M20 EURO again and hopes to find a new organiser by the end of June. For more information and all further details regarding the M20 EURO, please contact the EHF directly.

The MEN'S 20 EHF EURO is the most important handball event on European soil after the EURO for the men's national teams - comparable to the Under-21 European Football Championship.

Noteworthy: For the first time, the organisation of this major international sport event was awarded by the European Handball Federation (EHF) to two nations - Austria (Federation: ÖHB) and Italy (Federation: FIGH). In consequence, the ÖHB transferred the planning and execution to the event experienced Tyrolean Handball Federation and the FIGH to the South-Tyrolean handball club SSV Brixen, both guarantors for a professional handling of this EURO.
