Fight for medals and visas for the World Cup begins

The European Championship is entering its finals, and what awaits us until 15th May, when the finals are scheduled at the Grbavica Stadium, are the fights for medals and qualification for the World Cup in India for the three best teams. Germany and the Netherlands from Group A, and Spain and France from Group B made it to the finals. After the group stage, Denmark, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, and Norway finished the competition. Even three national teams from the last semi-final, which was played in Bulgaria in 2019, found themselves in the finals again.

GERMANY – FRANCE (BH FF Training Centre, Zenica - 14:00 h)

Germany reached the semi-finals for the 12th time in 13 championships played so far and won the winning cup 7 times. Including the qualifiers and the final tournament, the Germans recorded all 9 victories, with an impressive goal difference of 27:4. On the other hand, France won 7 times in 9 matches, drew once and lost by Spain once in the final tournament, with a goal difference of 25:7.

These two national teams met six times in the final tournaments, four of which were in the elimination phase. Germany won four times, while there were two draws (one triumph between Germany and France after penalty kicks). France has played four times in the semi-finals so far and reached the finals three times.

SPAIN – NETHERLANDS (Grbavica, Sarajevo – 20:00 h)

This will be the fourth semi-final for the Dutch national team, and the curiosity is that all three previous ones they played against Spain and once managed to reach the finals. These are also all the matches between these two national teams in the final tournaments. Spain has played 10 semi-final matches so far and has only been defeated twice.

Spain played 8 matches through the qualifiers and the final tournament and achieved all 8 victories, with a goal difference of 28:1. The Dutch achieved 5 victories in 8 matches, drew twice and lost once with a goal difference of 30:5.
