The final weekend of the Women’s EHF EURO 2024 brings the representatives of European handball to Austria’s capital, Vienna.
While the semi-finals are played on Friday 13 December and the 2024 champions will be crowned on Sunday, several corporate events take place on the fringes of the final tournament, including the 16th Extraordinary EHF Congress and the opening of the ‘European Handball House’, the new EHF headquarters.
The prelude to the weekend will be the meeting of the EHF Executive Committee on Friday morning. It is the body’s fifth and final of the meeting of the year, and while the Women’s EHF EURO will be the focus, several key decisions are expected to be taken.
Saturday 14 December starts with the 17th EHF Conference of Presidents (CoP). On the occasion, the EHF will present an overview on its running Master Plan activities with a special focus on sustainability and the new EHF Grassroots Charter.
The charter, aimed at creating a wider handball community, expanding the sport’s fan base and the potential handball workforce, was first presented at the Conference for Secretaries General in Copenhagen earlier this year and its introduction confirmed by the EXEC in September.
The CoP closes with an overview on the EHF EUROs just played in 2024, an outlook to the championships in 2026 and a preview of the EHF’s activities in 2025.
