Croatia secure 10th semi-final berth as medal dream stays alive

Croatia continued their winning streak at the Men's EHF EURO 2026 and won against Hungary, thus ending Sweden's dreams


The 2025 IHF World Championship runners-up Croatia delivered when it mattered the most and won the tightest contest against Hungary 27:25 to book their Men's EHF EURO 2026 semi-final ticket. It was a late push from the Croatians, but they survived Hungary's challenge helped by Dominik Kuzmanović's saves.

With Croatia joining Iceland on their way to Herning and the semi-finals, co-hosts and EHF EURO 2022 champions Sweden are out of the medal race, but will play the 5/6 placement match.
