EURO applications

EURO applications

The EHF is looking forward to the awarding process of the EURO Events and Younger Age Category European Championships in the period between 2012 and 2014. The deadline for EHF Member Federations to signal their interest in staging senior and youth national team continental tournaments has passed on 15 May.

The federations can bid for the following competitions:

Interested Nations

The nations were invited to submit a letter of interest in organising one or more of the above listed competitions by 15 May 2009. Within the stipulated deadline seven federations have shown interest in the EURO Events and eight in the YAC competitions.

Bidding process

The National Federations that submitted a letter of interest will receive the official EHF Bidding Manual by 17 June. The final application deadline will be 7 October 2009.

The formal aspects of the applications will be subject to approval by the EHF Executive Committee. The evaluation of the content of the bids will commence after this with the necessary site inspections and the analysis of the documents. The EHF Executive Committee will confirm the bids and forward them to the EHF Congress.

According to the Statutes of the European Handball Federation, the right to allocate a EURO Event and a Younger Age Category European Championship lies with the EHF Congress. However, the Executive Committee of the EHF will table a motion at the upcoming 9th Extraordinary Congress on 24 October in Cyprus in order to modify this final step of allocating the senior EHF EURO Events.
