Final preparations ahead of the December tournament
The announcement comes as North Macedonia's women's senior handball team moves into its last phase of training before the European Championship, which the team will contest in December. Marković said the EHF week will be used to fine‑tune combinations and assess players' readiness.
North Macedonia has been drawn into a challenging group alongside Norway, Romania and Switzerland, a pool that Marković described as demanding in terms of physicality and experience.
Although the full roster was published by the national federation today, the coach emphasized that the EHF week represents a practical test ahead of the continental competition and that further adjustments remain possible based on fitness and form.
Marković will lead the side during the EHF week, working with the selected players in sessions and friendly matches scheduled by the federation as part of the build‑up to the championship.
The federation confirmed the call‑ups on October 14, 2026; further logistical and match details for the EHF week are expected to be announced in the coming days.
