The 1974 African Women's Handball Championship was the first edition of the African Women's Handball Championship, held in Tunisia. It acted as the African qualifying tournament for the 1975 World Women's Handball Championship.
The Egyptian team was scheduled to play the final match against Tunisia, but Egypt withdrew because the Egyptian men's team was subjected to arbitrary injustice in the final match against Tunisia and the Tunisian public threatened them with death.
The Egyptian men's and women's teams withdrew and the African Union imposed a penalty on them by canceling all their results in the tournament As mentioned on the Egyptian website Tatweeg News.
