France – Poland: the handball Blues are back, but not in very good shape

France Poland the handball Blues are back but not

France launches its European Handball Championship this Thursday with a match against Poland after its silver medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

France is back. Les Bleues du handball is entering a new era after the departure of Olivier Krumbholz, the legendary coach of French women’s handball. Sébastien Gardillou has the heavy responsibility of succeeding the French coach and launches his cycle with this European Championship. This match against Poland is the first official match that he will manage. Since the silver medal in 2024 Olympic Gamesthe French won two of the four matches they played, a rather worrying record which does not place the French team as favorite. Les Bleues have revenge to take after a disappointing 4th place at the last European Championships in 2022.

Opposite, Poland is a modest women’s handball nation and begins these European Championships with a huge showing. 14th during the last edition of this competition, the Poles will therefore have a hard time facing the reigning Olympic vice-champions. They have suffered four defeats in a row in friendly matches and are not approaching this Euro with enormous confidence.
