Denmark, Sweden and Norway will be the center of European handball from January 15th, and the Montenegrin national team will once again be a part of it.
The "Lions" will play in Oslo at the European Championship, preparations begin on December 26, and coach Didije Dinar has opened the cards and announced a wider list of players who will fight for a trip to Scandinavia.
There are 21 players on the squad and three on the reserve list, and the news is that Vuko Borozan is returning to the national team. Once one of the best left-backs in Europe, his last match in a jersey with the national emblem was in November last year, against Finland in Podgorica, at the start of the EHF Euro qualifiers.
As it has been known for some time that Montenegro will be weakened due to injuries to goalkeepers Nebojša Simić and Nikola Matović, former "Lions" goalie Mile Mijušković will be on standby in some way.
"The goalkeeper of the Spanish OAR Corunna will act as a goalkeeper coach, but will train with the team and compete for a place on the final roster for EHF Euro 2026, if necessary according to the assessment of the coaching staff," the Handball Federation of Montenegro announced.
Our national team will play against Slovenia in the opening match on January 16th, and its rivals in Group D are the Faroe Islands and Switzerland. The two top-placed teams from the group will advance to the main round.
"The backbone of the team consists of players who carried the burden of the EHF Euro qualifiers, which Montenegro finished in second place in the group behind Hungary with four wins, a draw and a loss, which is the best result in the qualifying cycles after the restoration of independence," added RSCG.
Before the trip to Scandinavia, as part of preparations for the European Championship, our national team will play two friendly matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina - on January 9th and 11th in Podgorica.
