Category: Goalball

The men’s national team of Israel and the women’s national team of Finland are the 2022 IBSA Goalball European – Division B champions. The titles were conquered in the finals against both Greek teams, which were on the verge of becoming the stars of the tournament, which took place at the Centro de Desportos e Congressos de Matosinhos, in Portugal.

Besides the two silver medals for Greece, in the bronze matches, in the men’s competition, Finland defeated Great Britain (6-5), and in the women’s bronze match, Ukraine beat Hungary (10-1).

This means that the three top teams from Euro B will compete in Euro A next year.

Sweden and Bulgaria finished the stage group in 5th, so they were directly relegated to Euro C. The third team to go down was found in the match between Spain and Poland, which the Poles won (16-8), taking the Spanish to Division C.
