The EHF has today announced that, due to the insecure covid situation in Europe and new restrictions impacting a team’s participation, the EuroHockey Indoor Junior Championship II, Women in Sveti Ivan Zelina, Croatia is canceled. The EHF understands and supports the situation and has been working closely with the host, Croatia, in this regard.
It was agreed in advance with the hosts that if the event drops to 3 teams, it would be canceled.
EHF President, Marijke Fleuren said “The EHF would like to thank our hosts, the Croatian Hockey Federation for the enormous efforts to plan for the delivery of this important event. We know that everyone involved will be very disappointed. We look forward to returning to Croatia in the near future.”
