The group stage matches for the Swedish team will be played in the Slovak capital, Bratislava.

The European Championship will be held from December 3 to 20, spread across five countries and six cities: Katowice (Poland), Brno (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), Oradea and Cluj-Napoca (Romania), and Antalya (Turkey).

Norway is the reigning European champion and has completely dominated women's handball in recent years.

Sweden won six out of six matches during the qualifying round for the European Championship. At that time, the stars Jamina Roberts and Nathalie Hagman were on the field, but that will not be the case during the championship. Both have announced that their national team careers are over.
