Iceland are the second semi-finalist of EHF EURO 2026! The “Fishermen” have secured a place in the medal rounds for the first time since Vienna 2010, while the final ticket to Herning could become clear as early as 18:00, after Croatia vs Hungary.

That result also sharpens the picture around the second team heading to Denmark. Croatia need a win to finish top of the group and, in doing so, avoid the hosts in front of 15,000 fans at BOXEN.

If Croatia draw and Sweden win, a three-way tie on seven points would be formed — a scenario that would send Croatia into the 5th-place battle. Even a Croatian defeat can still be enough to go through, but only if Sweden suffer a heavy loss in the final game of the day against Switzerland.

In short: Sweden are out if Croatia win. Anything else keeps the hosts’ hopes alive in Malmö Arena — a chance to sneak through the eye of the needle.

A thrilling finale to the main round. Enjoy.
