Norway defended their 2020 title and won their ninth EHF EURO trophy as they beat Denmark 27:25 in the final on Sunday night in Ljubljana. It was a close game with Denmark in front most of the way but a level last 10 minutes, before two straight goals from EHF EURO 2022 MVP Henny Reistad secured the win for Norway in the final minutes.

Goalkeeper Katrine Lunde was a key factor for Norway, as she entered for the last 20 minutes and saved at 40 per cent, opening the door for her team’s comeback.

With the victory, Norway added to the EHF EURO trophies won in 2020, 2016, 2014, 2010, 2008, 2006, 2004 and 1998.

It is really amazing. The match was really tough. (Personal records) don't mean too much, but I am really happy because we are winning, and that was really important today.

We were not as strict in our defence as we were in the first 55 minutes. Norway have the routine and I think we got a bit overwhelmed by that. I am really disappointed because we were really close and we made an incredible tournament.
