The Macedonian men's handball team will play Germany in Tuesday's second match of the European Championships in Serbia.

The Macedonian handball team drew (26:26) with Sweden in the opening match two days ago.

They play the Czech Republic in the group's final round of matches on Thursday. 

EHF Match Fixing under way?

The EHF without any notice or explanation has replaced two very experienced Russian referees three hours before the start of the Macedonia - Germany match.

This bizarre decision as one would expect created lots of talk among Macedonian fans who ironically started talking since yesterday that EHF will work hard to give advantage to Germany as they had unexpectedly lost their first match to the Czechs.

The Germans carry a large clout within the EHF, didn't like the Russian officials and asked for their replacement.  EHF swiftly removed Zolton and Volodkov, replaced them by Icelanders Leifson and Palson.

Macedonia is fortunate Greece can't qualify for handball events, otherwise the EHF would have appointed Greek referees, as FIBA did in four of Macedonia's matches, including the semifinal against Spain.
