Denmark are back on the biggest stage: the final of Men’s EHF EURO 2026 in Herning against Germany (18:00). It’s not just final number 13 across EURO/WCH/Olympics — it’s also a shot at a rare major treble: holding Olympic + World + European titles at the same time.

Denmark already carry the Olympic crown from 2024 Summer Olympics and the world title from 2025 World Men’s Handball Championship. If they win the EURO on Sunday, they complete that set — something France famously achieved before, becoming the reigning champions of all three major competitions at once.

Why the “treble” talk matters

Completing the Olympics–Worlds–EURO set would confirm Denmark’s era as one that doesn’t merely win tournaments — it controls cycles. And because France have already shown how hard it is to hold all three crowns at once, Denmark know exactly what they’re chasing: something historic, rare, and brutally difficult.
