EHF EURO features 119 EHF Champions League players

Not surprisingly, defending and record champions Norway have the most EHF Champions League players in their squad: 15, from six different clubs. That number would have been higher if several players had not been missing the EHF EURO for various reasons, like as Veronika Kristiansen, Silje Solberg-Isaksen, or Kari Dahl Brattsett.

Two co-hosts, Montenegro and Slovenia, as well as EHF EURO 2018 champions France all have 13 players from European top-flight clubs.

Debutants Switzerland are the only EHF EURO participations without an EHF Champions League player.

National federations could nominate up to 20 players to their EHF EURO 2022 rosters – but only three teams have used the full number: Croatia, France and Slovenia; Poland have the fewest players included: 17

All squads combined contain 300 players, with 119 of them – or 39.7 percent – signed up by EHF Champions League clubs.
