EHF European Wheelchair Handball Championship 2025

The EHF Wheelchair EURO 2025 was the first European Championship played under the four-a-side rules — with mixed-gender teams of four players — and had a record nine participating nations, underlining the international growth of the sport.

Portugal claimed gold. They had a clean run to the final, not dropping a set, before meeting France in the gold-medal match. After winning the opening set 7:6 they missed a chance to close out the match in the second set. However, Portugal then powered to victory with a clean 7:0 win in the deciding set. Both sides booked themselves a ticket to the 2026 World Championship.

Lithuania beat Croatia in the bronze-medal match 2:1 after a third-set shootout.

Maria Relvas (Portugal) and Lorenzo Enzo Edjang (Spain) were named the tournament MVPs, while Portugal’s Ricardo Queiros was the top scorer with 52 points.
