Team of Switzerland won two friendly matches in Portugal against the home team.
The Swiss team, who didn’t deserve to be a part of Play-Off for the World Championship 2019 against Norway, as they lost matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina in pre-qualifications, but EHF punished Bosnians due to player Tomislav Nuic who wasn’t in team’s list as a mistake by EHF delegate Repensek (Slovenia), won two friendlies – 28:27 and 23:22.
