Studying the handball game efficiency is topical, this standig at the basis of an effective sports training that ensures training and competition goals. The aim of the study is to determine the efficiency of teams participating in European Men's Handball Championship in Serbia 2012. In analyzing the efficiency of the handball teams in the 2012 Men’s European Championship there were used the observation method (direct observation method by simply watching the matches) and the statistical-mathematical method, having as support statistics provided by the organizers through websites of the competition. Based on these benchmarks I wanted to see the evolution of these parameters during the last continental competition for national teams.
