The Men's Handball European Championship has resulted in a 9.5 million kroner deficit for the Norway Handball Federation. This substantial financial shortfall is poised to impact the organization’s future operations and planning. The losses represent a significant challenge for the federation as it looks ahead. Officials have acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating that the current financial trajectory is unsustainable. The federation will likely need to reassess its budgeting and revenue strategies to avoid similar deficits in future tournaments. The long-term consequences of this loss on handball development in Norway remain to be seen. A review of expenditures and income streams is anticipated to determine corrective measures.
