December 6, 2019 – Croatia handball coach Lino Cervar has announced a list of 28 players who have been officially reported to the European Handball Federation for the 2020 European Championship, hosted by Austria, Norway and Sweden. 

HRT reports that on the road to Graz, where Croatia plays the first round of competition against Montenegro, Belarus and Serbia, the Croatia coach will lead 16 players from this list. Everyone else will be waiting for their chance if someone gets injured or sick during the tournament and can be used at any time.

The first phase of preparations for the European Championship begins on December 17 with a gathering in Zagreb. This is where the players will stay and train until December 23. The lineup for this reunion will be announced at the beginning of the week when the National League matches are over, that is, when we can see the condition of the players and if there are any injuries.

After a short break, the team will reunite on December 26 from December 30. This part of the preparations will be held in Porec.

The final gathering is on New Year’s Day itself when the third and final phase of preparations for EURO 2020 begins. Players from the German Bundesliga will join the team in Porec then. As part of the preparations, the Croatian Cup will be held, with Bosnia and Qatar in addition to Croatia.
