The rocky road to reach the next as well as biggest edition of the Women's EHF EURO is officially open with 10 matches on the first day of the qualifiers. The bronze medalist from the Women's EHF EURO 2022, Montenegro started the new era in Podgorica with a huge win just like France, Slovenia, Spain, Croatia, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and North Macedonia who were also part of the major tournament last year. Also, the new edition of the EHF EURO CUP began with Switzerland and the reigning champions, Norway securing wins in their matches against Austria and Hungary, respectively, while the European and world champions displayed its iron mentality once again.

It’s very important for us to win the match after six months. All our players got the chance to feel the game, and it’s great because our roster is good enough. We have had a little bit of change when we compare the previous matches. Some players are injured: Ježić, Blažević; Ana Debelić has become a mother. All in all, I am really satisfied.

I can understand that it might seem like we were in training but we knew how to put in the necessary ingredients. Certainly, Italy does not have the credentials of some of our opponents that we are used to coming across in major championships, but they still have a great team, which scored 23 against Slovenia not long ago. We had to stay very serious and we knew how to do it to make the match easy. It's always nice to play in such an atmosphere, especially since you can have fun and have fun by scoring goals and running. It's typically the kind of match you can get away with if you're average, but we avoided the trap.
