The Netherlands women's handball team wrapped up their European Championship qualifying campaign with a dominant 47-12 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Almere, finishing the group stage with a perfect record. With qualification already secured, coach Henrik Signell rested key players including Angela Malestein and fielded a largely second-string side that still overpowered their opponents from the opening whistle, leading 25-7 at half-time; Sarah Dekker finished as top scorer with nine goals. The match was overshadowed by an apparently serious knee injury to Judith van der Helm, while 16-year-old Ivana Kwakman made her international debut. The European Championship (EHF Euro) runs from 3 to 20 December, hosted across five countries: Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Turkey.
