SEHA in Poland – bronze medallist Croatia along and Vardar’ silvers
Germany has, by beating Spain in finals on Sunday, concluded 12th Men’s European championship. SEHA has a medal with Croatia winning it in battle for third place beating Norway 31:24. Spain is with three Vardar’ players and one from Veszprem second and we can really say that SEHA has proved to be Europe’s second strongest League - right after German Bundesliga. Croatia was in semi-final defeated by Spain with 33:29.
SEHA’s best scorers on EC are Vardar’ left wingers Timur Dibirov and Dejan Manaskov both with 32 goals and with PPD Zagreb’s bronze Zlatko Horvat right after them with 31. Best goalkeeper is Vardar’ Arpad Šterbik for Spain.
Next big competition are Olympics in Rio with WCh in France, on which Croatia has already secured a place, coming in a year. After that, in 2018, Croatia will host EC. Important is that in qualifications for WCh in France SEHA’s representatives Hungary and Serbia will play against each other along with Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Sweden, Montenegro vs. Russia, Macedonia vs. Czech Republic and Belarus vs. Latvia.
