FEATURE: Slovakia embark on another big challenge, qualifying for their third IHF Men’s World Championship and right wing Tomas Urban is optimistic
Hosting EHF EURO 2022 meant that Slovakia qualified for a major tournament for the first time in ten years. Moreover, Peter Kukucka’s team sealed their first win at the EHF EURO, which was a success in itself, despite failing to progress to the main round of the competition.
Therefore, Slovakia’s performance begs some questions. Was it a one-off or will they become regulars in the most important competitions? Are their fans in for a treat in the coming years?
