The Norwegian Handball Association is now flagging that they may be forced to withdraw from the event, just five weeks before the planned premiere.
The reason is that the Norwegian corona rules can cause problems, where an infected player or leader means that the team - and any opposing team - means that the team is forced to withdraw from the championship.
SVT Sports expert Magnus Grahn believes that it is the wrong opportunity to play the European Championships this autumn, and that it should be moved to a later date.
"The whole of Europe is shaking"
- It's just a matter of looking up and reading the newspapers.
France had 45,000 new cases yesterday, and it is clear that some handball players will also be affected.
The whole of Europe is shaking.
I would be surprised if we can arrange a European Championship in Norway and Denmark as planned, he says.
Do you think it is right that you still aim to play the European Championships?
- If you had asked me two or three months ago, I would have said: Absolutely!
But now I am more hesitant about what the infection situation looks like in Europe.
It is still this with transports with people across borders that should be a bottleneck, to find a safe way to move and transport people, but also that they should play and keep going for a couple of weeks and be left alone ... I am doubtful, in fact.
So you think it would be better to postpone it?
- Yes actually.
As the situation is now, so yes.
