Switzerland is organizing the Women’s Euro 2024 with Austria and Hungary. The matches of two of the six groups, including that of the Nati, have been taking place since Thursday in Basel

Since August 2023, the Swiss have been coached by the Norwegian Knut Ove Joa, who intends to provide them with some of the keys to the success of the selections of his country of origin

The player Daphne Gautschi, who plays in France after passing through Germany, thinks that Swiss handball still has a lot to learn from foreign sporting cultures
He could talk about results. Training system. Number of licensees. But no. When we ask Knut Ove Joa to describe the importance of handball in his country, the Norwegian coach of the Swiss women’s handball team brandishes a completely different indicator. “When people talk about their plans for the month of December, like everywhere else, they say that they are going to rest and spend time with family,” he begins. But many also emphasize that they will watch the matches on television.
December, in handball, is the month of major international women’s tournaments, where Norway usually shines. Three times Olympic champion, five times world champion, nine times European champion, she is defending her continental title this year during an edition co-organized by Austria, Hungary and Switzerland. The meetings of two of the six groups in the first round have been taking place since Thursday at the St. Jakob Hall in Basel, where the Swiss Indoors tennis competitions are taking place.
