In the past months, several nations have shown interest to host the 2025 Men’s Youth World Championship, but only the Egyptian Handball Federation expressed their desire to take up the challenge. Consequently, further talks have been held and contractual discussions have started in order to seamlessly organise the competition.

Egypt confirmed their willingness to host the event, ensuring that full support will be granted by the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports. The Egyptian Handball Federation  draws on a wealth of experience in the organisation of competitions, including but not limited to the 2021 IHF Men’s World Championship, the IHF Wheelchair Handball World Championships in 2022 and 2024, as well as the IHF Men’s Club World Championship for a three-year period between 2024 and 2026.

The 2025 Men’s Youth (U19) World Championship will be hosted in different venues in Egypt which have been partly used at the 2021 IHF Men’s World Championship and other international handball events. The date of the event shall remain unchanged (6-17 August 2025). Inspection visits are scheduled to take place in due time.
