29 Jun. 2026
The IHF has moved today's main round matches between France and Austria, and Serbia and Sweden, in order to protect the health and welfare of the players.
Both games will now be played at 20:45 CST, with France v Austria taking place at the Jinzhong City Gymnasium and Serbia v Sweden at the Shanxi Medical University Zhongdu Campus Gymnasium.
The change follows unforeseen circumstances at the Jinzhong Vocational and Technical College Gymnasium, where the original venue was due to host the matches. The relocation ensures the competition can continue safely and smoothly while maintaining the integrity of the tournament schedule.
