Qatar to face Jordan in Asian Youth Handball Championship

Amman: The Qatari national youth handball team will meet Jordan on Friday, in the placement rounds of the 10th Asian Men's Youth Handball Championship currently being held in Jordan.

The Qatari team look forward to achieving a moral victory at the end of their participation in the championship after losing chance to advance to the semi-finals and obtain one of the qualifying spots for the World Championship.

The Qatari team finished 4th in Group 2 in the main round after losing all three of their matches, losing the first match to Japan 20/39, the second match to Kuwait 28/32, and the third match to Bahrain 27/33.

The top five teams in the Asian Championship advance to the World Championship in Slovenia 2025.

The Qatari youth handball team won the Asian Championship title twice in 2010 in Abu Dhabi and 2012 in Manama, and came in second place three times in 2006 in Tehran, 2008 in Oman, and 2014 in Oman as well.
