After winning their matches at the Women’s EHF EURO 2022 on Tuesday, France and Montenegro locked up the top two spots in the group and remain in the mix for the coveted trophy which will be awarded after the final in Ljubljana on Sunday.

The remaining teams – Spain, Netherlands, Romania, and Germany – are still in the race for placing third and advance to the 5/6 placement match, which is bound to become a gateway to the last direct place at the 2023 IHF Women's World Championship.
