Twelve Asian teams will be competing for five spots instead
of six in the World
Championships, after the Qatari team announced its
withdrawal from the competition days before the start of the tournament.
The first group includes South Korea, Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, while the second group includes Jordan,
Japan, Iran, Kuwait, Iran, Palestine, and Syria.
The Asian Handball Federation (AHF) had earlier decided that
the Syrian and Palestinian teams would take part instead of the Afghan and
Indian teams, after they announced their withdrawal from the tournament.
The AHF decided to hold all the tournament without an
audience to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Tournament records show that South Korea has won the title
14 times, Kazakhstan won the title twice, and Japan won the title once.
It will be the third time in history that the championship
will be organized by the Jordan Handball Federation.
