The national men’s handball team started on Tuesday and will continue until Friday with training at the SEF stadium and on Saturday morning will leave for Kozani, in order to carry out the second stage of its preparation in view of the play-off matches with the Netherlands, on the 8th of the month in Leuven at 17:15 and in Eindhoven on 12/5 at 17:00, for the qualification to the finals of the 2025 World Championship.
Giorgos Eleftheriadis (PAOK) was not called up due to injury, while Yiannis Kalomiiros, who is suffering from a virus, and Panos Papantonopoulos, who is dealing with an injury problem, were absent from the first training session, and for this reason Panagiotis Kollyris of Doukas will be called up .
“We have started our preparation for these very important games against the Netherlands, which are of pivotal importance, since we have demands on ourselves and we want to qualify, knowing of course the degree of difficulty. We will take a step-by-step look at this very difficult series of games with the first match at home and which we absolutely must win.
In these matches we must be completely focused, having as a legacy the experience from our participation in the EURO and correcting the mistakes we made there”, said the captain of the national team, Haris Mallios, at the OHE press office.
