The new year continues with a wide range of events.
We begin by reminding you of the European Men’s Handball Championship / EHF EURO 2026, which kicks off in Malmö this Friday, 16 January.
Two weeks of handball celebrations await Malmö, with matches played at Malmö Arena.
During the EHF EURO 2026, Lilla Torg will be transformed into the city’s official Fan Zone – a vibrant meeting place for handball fans from all over Europe. Visitors can enjoy activities, community spirit, and a true championship atmosphere right in the heart of Malmö.
The Fan Zone offers fun activities for all ages, such as speed shooting, handball target practice, and face painting. At the same time, the square’s restaurants and cafés create a welcoming setting. On weekends, there is an extra focus on family-friendly activities.
