Handball European Championship: France vs. Denmark now live in the ticker – final – the fight for gold in the Lanxess Arena in Cologne

The ultimate highlight is on Sunday at 5:45 p.m Handball European Championship 2024 on the program. France and Denmark offer themselves in the final Lanxess Arena in Cologne the forehead.

For Olympic champion France, one personality is particularly important. Nikola Karabatic is playing the last European Championship game of his career and could gild his own winter fairy tale with a triumph at his eleventh European Championship.

“I want to have as much fun as possible,” explained the 39-year-old before the game. “Normally you don’t play that many finals in a career,” he admitted. “I’m very happy that I have the opportunity to do this again.”

Here you can find the live ticker for the European Championship final between France and Denmark.

The currently best player on both teams is probably the Dane Matthias Gidsel, who is sinking his shots with an incredible efficiency of 79.3 percent in the current tournament and has 46 goals. This makes him the fourth best thrower in the European Championships and, before the final, he is one place behind the Frenchman Dika Mem, who has one more goal to his name, but “only” hits 68.1 percent of his attempts.

Both France and Denmark haven’t won a European Championship in what feels like forever. The French last won the title in 2014, while the Danes have not taken the European throne for twelve years.

Denmark wants to win the European Championship title for the first time since 2012 on Sunday. Of course, the French national team has something against it – especially Nikola Karabatic. The 39-year-old is playing his eleventh and final European Championship, and the veteran could gild his upcoming career end with his fourth European Championship title. “We have our chance, but we have to be at our best level, collectively and individually, to maybe win against Denmark,” said Karabatic.
