Trondheim overtar EM-finalen i håndball i 2028
EM-finalen i håndball for kvinner i 2028 skal spilles i Trondheim Spektrum, melder VG.
– Det er en gladnyhet, sier håndballpresident Randi Gustad til avisen. Hun fryktet at finalen skulle flyttes ut av Norge.
EM-søknaden la opp til finalespill i arenaen på Fornebu med plass til 15.000 tilskuere, men ombyggingen til en multiarena for innendørsidretter er blitt forsinket.
– Vi sto lenge i fare for å måtte flytte EM-finalen til Sverige eller Danmark, men nå blir det Oslo i innledende, mest sannsynlig på Jordal Amfi, og Trondheim Spektrum i hovedrunde og finalespillet, sier Gustad til VG.
Håndballpresidenten er styremedlem i Det europeiske håndballforbundet og forteller at EHF har godtatt at finalen spilles i en arena med tilskuerkapasitet på maksimalt 10.000, som er 2000 færre enn kravet.
– Trondheim Spektrum er en fantastisk arena. Den tilfredsstiller ikke de internasjonale kravene, men er stor og flott og ligger i en god håndballby, sier Gustad.
Norge har vunnet 18 titler i kvinnehåndball, men bare en av dem på hjemmebane. Det var VM-gullet i 1999. Mesterskapet om drøyt to år blir en ny mulighet.
Brandon Graham says he's "officially done" playing football
Brandon Graham's first retirement was a brief one, but he says the second one will be a lasting exit from the football field.
Graham said at an event on Tuesday, via Rob Kuestner of NBC Philadelphia, that he is "officially done" playing football. Graham retired after the Eagles won Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans in February 2025, but the defensive end returned to the team in October and played in 10 games for the team.
Graham spent his entire NFL career with the Eagles. The 2010 first-round pick has the franchise record with 215 regular season appearances and he played in 13 playoff games, including both of the franchise's Super Bowl wins.
Graham had 495 tackles, 79.5 sacks, 23 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in those 215 regular season games. He added 21 tackles, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in the playoffs. One of those forced fumbles came against Tom Brady late in the fourth quarter of Philadelphia's Super Bowl LII win.
