Hungary's women's handball team meet hosts Romania in the EHF Euro Cup bronze-medal match at Bucharest's Sala Polivalentă at 13:15 on 27 September. Both teams have less than a day to process their semi-final defeats.

A quick reset after two losses

Norway beat Hungary 27–23 and Denmark defeated Romania 28–20 in Saturday's semi-finals. The official EHF schedule lists a 13:15 CEST start, with the match available on EHFTV in eligible markets.

Beyond the medal, Hungary must repair the slow defensive start seen against Norway while carrying forward the momentum of their second-half comeback. Read the full semi-final report here.
