Can anyone confirm the Olympic draw has indeed taken place? I can only find Egyptian media reporting about it...

That's from February 16th, no info anywhere, probably fake... 

 

Olympic draw in handball has never been done before knowing all the qualified teams, also.

The qualifying format favours European teams.

 

So the 12 teams that qualified are:

 

• The Olympic host.
• The previous world champion.
• The four continental champions.
• 6 teams from the Olympic qualifiers.

 

7 of the 12 qualified teams are European. And in the qualifiers, 6 of the 12 teams were European.

 

I think that each continent should have two teams minimum.
