Player replacement criteria

During the Tokyo Handball Qualification 2020 tournaments each team may replace up to five players at any time (e.g. each team may put in five new players or may put in a player who has already been replaced once). Players may be replaced against players indicated in the provisional delegation list (‘list of 35’) only.

Player replacements due to positive COVID-19 cases will not be deducted from the total of five replacements each team is entitled to. 

This is only valid for replacements within 48 hours after the infection of the player concerned has become known. Players may be replaced with players indicated in the provisional list only. However, if a federation wants to add this player again to the team, the replacement will be counted.

In case a suspended player is replaced by another player, the new player is only eligible to play after the suspension has lapsed.

Late registrations

Nine women’s teams (Argentina, Hungary, Montenegro, Norway, Romania, Russia, Spain, Serbia and Sweden) registered their maximum of 16 players allowed from their original 35-name squad at the technical meeting ahead of their opening games. Kazakhstan registered 14.

If a team has registered less than the number of players allowed in the definitive list, it may register one (1) additional player from the provisional list during the competition by 9:00 am on the respective match day at the latest.
