14th Men’s 18 European Handball Championship Croatia,9th – 19thAugust 2018, Qualitative analysis

The 14th European Men's 18 Handball Championship took place in Croatia from 9th to 19thAugust 2018. The competition took place in two towns – Varazdin and Koprivnica. The towns are situated in the northern part of Croatia and are 47 kilometers apart. Matches were played at two sports halls: Varazdin Arena (Varazdin) and SDG Gymnasium Fran Galovic (Koprivnica). The Varazdin hall has a capacity of 5000 people, where as the capacity of the hall in Koprivnica is 2500 viewers. Preliminary Round for groups C and D, Main Round for group M2, Intermediate round group 4 and Placement Matches 1-8 were played in Varaždin, where as Preliminary Round for groups A and B, Main Round for group M1, Intermediate round for group 3 and Placement Matches 9-16 were played in Koprivnica. Once again, the Croatian Handball Federation excelled as a host of a major competition such as the European Men's U-18 Handball Championship. Croatia was the host of the 2016 championship for this age group and this is the first time that a handball federation got to host the European Championship two times in a row. Organization was excellent and there were no major problems during the competition. The playing conditions in the hall, transportation and accommodation were at a very high level. Special thanks should be given to the volunteers who contributed to the success of this event, to the satisfaction of all national teams and the EHF. The analysis will include important statistical parameters, some of which will be compared to previous competitions in this age group, tactical setting in attack and defense, and the reasons behind successful results of some teams at this competition. I tried to watch live as many matches as possible, whereas my other observations came from information given by the coaches and technical staff of the competing teams. All information was later compared to the statistical indicators of the system used in this competition.
