Support for the coach

According to Tanguy, the federation expects Giani to work with the national team until 2028. He also noted that the coach took over the team in a difficult situation and had not previously won many titles with the national teams he coached.

Before the tournament, experts expected a final between Poland, which was defending its title, and Italy, the reigning world champion. However, the Italians were eliminated in the quarterfinals after losing to Finland.
