France as manager, Norway the European Championship, Brazil the Pan American Games, the Republic of Korea the Asian Olympic Qualifier, and Angola the African Championship winner, are already participants in five episodes. The World Cup winner also goes to Paris: if France wins the tournament, the silver medalist gets a share. If a particular participant, not France, wins the gold medal, the direct Olympic qualification previously obtained belongs to the runner-up in that country’s continental qualifying competition. If the Norwegians, last year’s champions of the continent, are victorious, the European silver medalist will go to the Danish team, which is also in the top eight.
By default, the toilet size is 2-7. The runner-up will play an Olympic qualifying match in April. Among them, the French and Norwegian teams have already reached the quarter-finals, so the right to participate in the qualifying tournament belongs to the eighth and ninth places in the World Cup. South Korea and Angola have no chance of reaching the top eight, but Brazil has the chance.
The Hungarian national team can only occupy ninth place if it defeats the best Croatian national team on Monday.
So he would have six points, and would improve on his current goal difference of +19. Trondheim II. In the group of Slovenes, Herning III. In the group, the Romanians or Poles could finish on six points, but in terms of goal difference, each of them lags far behind the team of national team captain Vladimir Golovin. Frederikshafen IV. In the group matches that end on Sunday (today), there are still three teams with eight points. If the Czech Republic wins over Brazil, Spain and the Netherlands, in this case it will be the third of these six, ahead of the Hungarian team. In points, in the same way as if the two matches ended in a draw. On the other hand, if the results don’t go that way, but the Dutch or Brazilian team wins, then – in the event of Hungarian success – the goal difference will definitely be better than the Spanish or Czech team. The Brazilian national team, which also has a goal difference of +19 and has scored more goals, is certainly a participant in five rounds, and if it takes ninth place, the tenth place in the World Cup will also be interested in one of the qualifying tournaments.
The Hungarian women’s national team last participated in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and finished seventh.
