nothing sure nowadays , but for now 100 % the tournament will be held , and for now there'll be fans attending the event , they're even looking for full capacity of stadiums :D and btw Angola defeated Qatar last WCH and lost all other matches 

hopefully Egypt will be able to have the event with fans in the stadiums. I don't like to get used to watching important sport matches in empty stadiums !!

 

oh yes, I think I'm getting old how come I forgot that match I remembered they  beat Japan in the final (final for not finishing last)

Not much of a surprise that IHF go for the money, but that should have been Greenland's spot!

For context, the U.S. got 6th last year at the Pan American Games. We did beat Cuba in the group stage, but then lost the match for 5th place to them. Mexico also finished ahead of us in 4th. Puerto Rico did finish behind us in 7th, but we never played them directly. 
 

Handball is not well known in the U.S. at all. In fact, most people confuse the sport for a children’s game known as “handball/wallball”, or for a minor sport (similar to squash, racquetball, basque pelota) also known as “handball.”

Chilie is the lastest country qualified. All 32 participants are known now.
