However, in this case there is no entitlement to a seat.

Playing schedule for the European Championship 2022

It is unfortunately an eternal point of discussion between the players and the officials of handball: The game schedule of the European Championship and World Cup finals. But for the European Championship in Hungary and Slovakia, a good solution with more rest days seems to have been found.

The 2022 European Championship will start on Thursday, January 13. On January 19, the main round will start, so that the semifinals can take place in Budapest on Friday, January 28. In contrast to previous World and European Championships, the finals will not be played directly the next day, but there will be a one-day break. Only on Sunday, January 30th we will know who will be the new European Handball Champion!

Venues of the 2022 European Handball Championship in Hungary and Slovakia

The 2022 European Handball Championship will be held at a total of five venues. Slovakia will provide two locations, while Hungary will be represented with three venues. Due to the large number of enthusiastic handball nations as neighbouring countries to Hungary and Slovakia, the individual cities and arenas will certainly develop into real cauldrons and strongholds of the respective nations.

 

Here is an overview of the venues for the Men´s European Championship 2022 in Hungary and Slovakia:

  • Bratislava (Slovakia)

  • Kosice (Slovakia)
  • Budapest (Hungary)
  • Debrecen (Hungary)
  • Szeged (Hungary)

Bratislava

In Bratislava, directly at the Slovakian border to Austria, the German national team will play its preliminary round matches! Here, with the groups D and E, even two groups carry out their preliminary rounds and the main round will take place here as well. In Group E, neighbouring country Czech Republic is seeded, but not qualified yet. If the Czech Republic manages to qualify, this will obviously increase the demand for the EHF EURO 2022 tickets in this group enormously, as they are a neighbouring country.

 

Kosice

In Slovakia, not far from the border with Hungary, lies the city of Kosice. This is where host Slovakia will start the European Championship 2022 in Group F. The Steel Arena can seat 8,350 spectators, making this venue the second largest in the country. Since its opening in 2006, the arena has hosted ice hockey games in particular, but for the European Handball Championship, the ice will be thawed and indoor flooring will be laid. The European Championship tickets for Kosice will certainly be in great demand, so do not hesitate to buy them in advance.

 

Budapest

The Hungarian capital Budapest will also get a new arena - and what a spectacular arena! 20,000 spectators are to experience the preliminary round, the main round and of course the final weekend of the European Handball Championship 2022! When finished, the New Budapest Arena will be the biggest indoor arena in Europe. The opening match of host Hungary will also take place here, which will also be the very first event taking place in the new arena. By the way: The construction progress of the arena can be followed here via this link.

 

Debrecen

Debrecen is perhaps far less well known than the Hungarian capital Budapest, but it is the second largest city in the country. The Főnix Hall has a capacity of around 8,000 spectators and will be home to the matches of the preliminary round Group A. If Slovenia qualifies for the European Championship finals, Debrecen will be the site for the Slovenian team in the preliminary round. Although Slovenia is not a host country, but due to the geographical proximity, it is safe to assume that fans will make the journey and turn the Főnix Hall into a witches' cauldron. Slovenian handball fans should therefore pay very close attention to the advance ticket sales for Debrecen.

 

Szeged

Szeged regularly hosts top-class handball matches, so in this respect the city should be perfectly prepared for the EHF EURO 2022. With a new hall for about 10,000 spectators, the Pick Arena, another highlight of the European Championship is being built here. Szeged will host the preliminary round matches of Group C, in which Croatia, among others, will start. By the way, it is only 160 kilometers to the Croatian border, a distance that will certainly be taken by numerous fans. So ticket alert here, too!
