Austria, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Denmark and Sweden qualified to the main round as leaders in their respective groups and will be joined by Iceland and Germany, who secured their spot as the two second-best-ranked teams.
The eight teams are divided into two main round groups, with four nations in each one. After the conclusion of this stage, the top two teams in each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
Reigning champions Spain keep up hopes for a fourth title in the competition, after reaching the main round with a perfect record of three wins and no losses.

- Austria and Iceland will have a challenging mission in group G against Portugal and Spain, as they are still looking for their first medals in the competition
- current record champions Denmark will go against Norway, Sweden and Germany in group H in an attempt to add a fifth title to their collection
- Norway’s attack is led by Patrick Helland Anderson, who is currently second in the top scorer charts with 29 goals
