Tonight, the qualifiers for the European Handball Championship 2022 start in Hungary and Slovakia.

In the Swedish national team, Glenn Solberg makes his debut as the new Swedish national team captain.

Goalkeeper Andreas Palicka is missing from the squad due to a knee injury, and will be replaced in the squad by Germany professional Tobias Thulin.

Niclas Ekberg is not in the Swedish squad tonight either.

Not met in six years

Sweden and Romania have met 42 times, and that is Swedish plus statistics with 21 victories.

But it is over six years since the two countries met.

That time in 2014 in the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar, Sweden won both matches.

From those matches, only Jim Gottfridsson and Andreas Nilsson are left in the Swedish squad in tonight's match.

In addition to Romania, Sweden will also face Kosovo and Montenegro in their qualifying group.

The two best teams in the qualifying group play the EC 2022.
