With the Men’s EHF EURO 2024 coming to town from 11-16 January, a trip to Berlin becomes even more attractive than it already is.
Handball fans can prepare to see exciting preliminary round matches in the 14,800-capacity Mercedes Benz Arena as hosts Germany will play there (after the opening matchday in Düsseldorf); group A also includes France, North Macedonia, and Switzerland.
And Norway, Slovenia, Poland, and Faroe Islands in group D will also battle it out in Berlin for the coveted spots in the main round.
Tickets for the matches in Berlin are available here.
The teams advancing from those groups will continue their EHF EURO journey in Cologne (tickets) or in Hamburg (tickets).
A cosmopolitan city of culture, politics, media and science, Berlin has a lot to offer to keep handball fans entertained outside the arena. Its architecture, festivities, and nightlife are known worldwide, and visitors never run out of options – whatever they prefer the most.
Each to-do list for the city should include the famous Buddy Bears Berlin, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary in the German capital. The cheerful, colourful Buddy Bears – individually painted life-size sculptures – symbolise tolerance and international understanding, and stand for cosmopolitanism in Berlin and Germany.
