2024 Asian Men's Handball Championship

Handball tournament in Bahrain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Asian Men's Handball Championship was the 21st edition of the championship, held from 11 to 25 January 2024 in Bahrain, under the aegis of Asian Handball Federation (AHF). It was the third time in history that the championship was organised by the Bahrain Handball Federation. It also acted as a qualification tournament for the 2025 World Men's Handball Championship, with top four teams from the championship directly qualifying for the event.[1] If New Zealand finished inside the top five, they would have qualified as well as the representative of Oceania, but they failed to do so.
