On the way to the fourth consecutive participation in the Olympic handball tournaments, Montenegro will face Germany, Slovenia and Paraguay.

The last dilemma was resolved in the match for 5th place at the World Championship in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, where the Netherlands played with the Germans, won 30:26 and sent them to the tournament in Montenegro.

The three tournaments, where the question of the last six participants of the OI will be resolved, will be played from April 11 to 14, and the IHF will determine the hosts later.

Per Johansson's team dominated from the start, at the beginning of the 2nd half they had a double digit advantage, so it is clear that Bojana Popović's team got an easier rival on the way to Paris.

After all, Germany also experienced a debacle in the quarter-finals against Sweden (27:20), from which it lost by a double-digit margin already in the first half.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, will compete for the Olympic Games with the Czech Republic, which it defeated 33:20 in the WC group stage, Spain and Argentina.

Sweden, Hungary, Japan and Cameroon will fight for two places in the City of Light in the qualifying tournament 1.

If the Netherlands had lost, an interesting situation would have happened - if Montenegro would ask for a visa for the OI against its two former coaches, because Slovenia is led by Dragan Adžić, and "lala" Per Johanson.
