Following their first appearance at a major championship, the Men’s EHF EURO 2024, the qualifiers for the 2026 edition have been a new experience for the Faroe Islands. With the label of underdogs long cast off, the Faroese entered the EHF EURO 2026 Qualifiers as contenders expecting — and expected — to reach the final tournament. And they did so with one match to spare, thanks to a thrilling 25:23 win over Kosovo on Thursday night.
