Expansion [ edit ]
After the U-18 Euro was officially expanded to 24 teams,[2] the EHF decided to also expand the U-20 competition to 24 teams also on 23 September 2022.[3]
Qualification [ edit ]
To accommodate 24 teams and fill in the eight extra spots, the EHF decided to not relegate anyone in 2022 and promote the three runners up from the Men's 19 EHF Championship.[4] The last two spots are occupied by the two best ranked teams not yet qualified for the competition. Those two were Greece and Romania.
The draw was held on 29 February 2024 in Vienna at 15:00 (CET ).[9] [10] Prior to the draw, Austria , Czech Republic and North Macedonia , who all had the same EHF ranking, would be placed into a separate draw to determine each team's position in the draw.[9] Later on, Austria and Czech Republic won the draw and were both placed in pot 3.
