That's all the action done for today - just a few things to wrap up our coverage now.

Firstly, in case you missed it, Denmark beat Sweden in the Men's EHF EURO Cup 2026 33:29, trying out some new players to some success. Read the match review here.

Later today, other matches to keep an eye on include Romania vs Poland, with both teams aiming for a win after losing to Portugal and drawing with Israel respectively in round 1, and Italy vs Serbia, with Italy coming off a tremendous performance that saw them lose by a single goal to Spain. Those games are both at 18:00 CET.

First up today is an exciting game between Ukraine and the Faroe Islands. The Faroes won their first game against Kosovo on Wednesday decisively, while Ukraine lost a thriller against the Netherlands 39:40. They were in the same group for qualification for the Men's EHF EURO 2024, when the Faroe Islands progressed but Ukraine did not.

Ukrainian line player Oleksandr Onufriienko is expecting a tough match. He said: "We've played a lot against them - we know their weaknesses and where they stand out: they love the seven-on-six game, and they have two super talents (Elias á Skipagøtu and Óli Mittún) - the whole game depends on them. We have to get ready and analyse their attack. As for the defence, you can see the work of their coach. They know what they are doing, they have been playing together for years. But we can play with them and win."

Faroese head coach Peter Bredsdorff-Larsen said: "We had the pleasure to play against Ukraine in the group phase for the qualification to the EHF EURO 2024, and we then experienced a very difficult away game against Ukraine, where we lost by four goals. We have a lot of respect for Ukraine and also their strong effort to be a part of group 6, and we will need another great performance in order to be able to get another win on Sunday in Vilnius."

The highlight of today's action will be the Highlight Match at 16:00 CET, when Switzerland welcome Austria. Both teams appeared at the Men's EHF EURO 2024 in Germany in January, with Austria impressing throughout the tournament and finishing eighth. 

Ahead of today's game in group 7 of the Qualifiers, EHF journalist Danijela Vekić caught up with Austria's head coach Ales Pajovic to talk about the mid-week game against Türkiye - which Austria won 31:28 - and the prospects of facing Andy Schmid's impressive Switzerland squad. Don't miss Pajovic's insight, or the game a little later on!
