EHF Sweden 2016 - Goteborg


In the tranquil city of Gothenburg, we enjoyed the Women's Euro in December 2016.

A good coffee, a delicious pastry alongside the tournament's replica ball were the perfect combination as we faced genuine wintery conditions during rest days





Chatting away with the Spanish players was the first thing I did once I had tidied up my room and gone out on the first evening.

 France battled fiercely against a very motivated Norwegian team



The Netherlands team was really impressive. Their style of play was also very direct and quite refreshing.
