2020 IHF Men's Olympic Qualification Tournaments
The 2020 IHF Men's Olympic Qualification Tournaments were held in Montenegro, France and Germany.[1] The top two teams from each of the three tournaments qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

The tournaments were initially scheduled to take place from 17 to 19 April 2020, but the IHF postponed them to June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Following the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics to July–August 2021, the IHF announced on 24 April 2020 that the tournaments would be again rescheduled, taking place from 12 to 14 March 2021.[3]
Format
There were three Olympic Qualification Tournaments. Only twelve teams that have not yet qualified through the five events mentioned above could play in the tournament:[4]
- The top six teams from the 2019 World Championship that did not already qualify through their continental championships are eligible to participate in the tournament.
- The best ranked teams of each continent in the 2019 World Championship represent the continent in order to determine the continental ranking. The first ranked continent received two more places for the tournament. The second, third and fourth ranked continent received one place each. The last place belongs to a team from Oceania, if one was ranked between 8th–12th at the World Championship. If no team from Oceania met this condition, the second ranked continent receives an extra place instead. The teams that already earned their places through their World Championship ranking will not be considered for receiving places through the continental criterion.
- The twelve teams were allocated in three pools of four teams according to the table below. The top two teams from each pool will qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games.[5]
| 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament #1 | 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament #2 | 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament #3 |
|---|---|---|
|
- 1Since Spain (7th from World) and Egypt (8th) won the 2020 European Championship and the 2020 African Championship respectively, thus qualifying directly for the Olympics, the last slot of the World Championship is allocated to the team ranked 9th, Brazil.
- 2Since Croatia (2nd), Norway (3rd), and Germany (5th) already got a slot through the World Championship, the two slots of the European Championship are allocated to the teams ranked 4th, Slovenia, and 6th, Portugal.
Referees
The referees were announced on 25 February 2021.[6]
