Parisians in international action
While several Euro 2022 qualifiers featuring our players have been postponed, there were three Parisians taking the court in international action this week.
Denmark
Our two Danes, Henrik Toft Hansen and Mikkel Hansen, got their qualification campaign off to an ideal start. On Thursday, the 2019 World Champions were playing host to Switzerland in Aarhus. The Parisians played their part in the side's win (31-26), with one goal from Henrik and three from Mikky. On Saturday, they travelled to Vantaa to face Finland. Without the services of our left-back, but with our pivot getting on the scoresheet, Denmark clocked two more points (22-40) and now sit atop Group 7 alongside Macedonia.
