Host selection

Montenegro

Montenegro won the hosting rights unopposed at an EHF meeting in Oslo on 21 June 2024.^[4]^[5]

Expansion

At a meeting in Ljubljana, the EHF Executive Committee announced that they would analyse a possible expansion to 24 teams.^[6] On 17 June 2022, the EHF officially expanded the event to 24 teams.^[7]

Format

The tournament consisted of three phases: The first two were played in a round-robin-groups format. The third phase was played in a playoff format with consolations.

In the First phase, 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four.

The top two teams from each group advanced to the Main round.
The third- and fourth-placed teams advanced to the Intermediate round.

In the Second phase, all teams were again divided into groups of four, but this time, against the teams that advanced to the same round as them. Each separate round (Main and Intermediate) was played by 12 teams, divided into three groups of four.

In the Main round, the top two teams from each group and the best two third-placed teams advanced to the quarterfinals. The other four teams advanced to the 9th–16th place playoffs.
In the Intermediate round, the winners of each group and the best second-placed team advanced to the 9th–16th place playoffs. The other eight teams advanced to the 17th–24th place playoffs.

In the Third phase, the teams were divided into three playoff tiers of eight teams each, with each team playing three more matches there. Each of the three playoffs consisted of four quarterfinals, two semifinals, two consolation semifinals, and four final placement matches.

Qualification

To accommodate 24 teams and fill in the eight extra spots, the EHF decided to not relegate anyone in 2023. Then, the four highest ranked teams not yet qualified were brought in. To decide the final four spots, the remaining registered teams were separated into two qualification groups where the top two from each qualifier progressed to the final tournament.^[8]
