The Spanish handball players retained their title of European champion by winning the final of Euro-2020 against Croatia 22 to 20, Sunday in Stockholm, and thus validate their ticket for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The Croats stumbled for the third time in the final of a European Championship and will have to go through an Olympic qualification tournament in Paris-Bercy, with France, Portugal and an African selection, where only two tickets will be issued for Tokyo -2020.
