“Debrecen is a real sports city, in the last twenty years it has hosted more than two dozen major competitions in almost twenty sports. The EHF EURO 2022 is perhaps our most important event to date, where we have been working with the organizing committee, the EHF and the city for months, ” said Balázs Makray, Project and Facilities Manager at Főnix Arena. “It was a big challenge for everyone, mainly because of the size of the event, the revolving Főnix Arena and the difficult epidemic. It was completed and put in place in time, the teams are happy with the venues for the match and training, and tickets went well abroad and at home, and on Saturday we can be close to a full house. We are all proud and excited to start on Thursday, and we hope that Debrecen and the Főnix Arena will once again be a good host and a successful venue. ”

“I think our preparations went well, we did everything that the head coach planned. We will go step by step. The first match is always difficult in a tournament like this, and I expect a tough, difficult match against the North Macedonians. We've played with them several times, so we know them. ”
Blaz Blagotinsek, Slovenian line player:
“I believe in my team, but at the same time we are well aware of the difficulty of the tasks ahead. We respect Slovenia, a great team with excellent players, but we don’t wave the white flag before the match. We will do our best to surprise everyone. ”
Kiril Lazarov, player and head coach of North Macedonia:
“No one knows exactly how it is now, the preparation for everyone, so it was chaotic for us too. In any case, we have done everything we wanted and we are ready for the tournament. ”
Nikolaj Jacobsen, head coach of Denmark:
“I don’t know what to expect. Denmark will be the favorite in the first match, but we will do everything on the field. Our real test will be the meetings against the Slovenes and the North Macedonians. ”
