The Asian Handball Federation (AHF) wishes to inform all Member Federations, participating teams, and stakeholders that the 11th Asian Men’s Youth (U19) Handball Championship has been relocated to Amman, Jordan, following unforeseen organizational circumstances which made it impossible to stage the championship in Andijan, Uzbekistan as originally scheduled.
The championship will now be hosted by the Jordan Handball Federation from 20 to 31 August 2026 in Amman, Jordan.
The competition will serve as the Asian qualification tournament for the 12th IHF Men’s Youth (U19) Handball World Championship, with the top four (4) teams earning qualification for the world championship to be held from 29 July to 9 August 2027.
Member Federations wishing to participate are requested to complete their registration by submitting the registration form together with the applicable participation fee according to their respective participation level no later than 1 July 2026 at 23:59 hrs. (Kuwait local time).
The Asian Handball Federation extends its sincere appreciation to the Jordan Handball Federation for accepting the hosting responsibilities at short notice and looks forward to the successful organization of the championship.
