There are only six games left in the three men’s tournaments of the Tokyo Handball Qualification 2020 hosted by Podgorica, Montpellier and Berlin and no team is safe after the first two days.

Despite winning their first two games, France and Norway are not assured of an Olympic Games berth yet, even though they can still secure their tickets even with a loss on Sunday. On the other hand, teams like Tunisia and Chile are still in with a chance, but will need a huge stroke of luck on their side.

Provided there is a tie between two or more teams, the first tiebreaker between them is the result in points between the teams concerned. If teams cannot be separated by that, goal difference is the next criteria, followed by the number of goals scored.

Below are the qualification scenarios for the teams who still have a chance to advance.
