The Croatian national handball team will play the second preparatory match for the 2026 European Championship against Germany tonight at Arena Zagreb from 8:30 p.m.
There are also four players on Dagur Sigurdsson’s roster from Ljubuški, who took their first handball steps in RK Scout – the most trophy BH handball club with 11 BiH championship titles and four won cups.
It is about Ivan Pavlović (RK Zagreb), Matej Mandić (SC Magdeburg), Diana Neris Češka (RK Scout) and David Mandićin (MT Melsungen).
Scout, by the way, had in 2025 the most successful season so far, winning the double crown and reaching the semi-finals of the EHF European Cup, and the club previously expressed pride at the recognition that as many as four Ljubušaks are playing for the Croatian national team.
