2017 World Men's Handball Championship – European qualification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European qualification for the 2017 World Men's Handball Championship in France was disputed in two rounds among the teams that did not qualify for the 2016 European Men's Handball Championship and the 12 worst-ranked teams from the European Championship (excluding France). The qualification matches took place between November 2015 and June 2016.

In the first round of qualification, 22 teams not participating at the European Championship were split into six groups. The group winners advanced to the second round, joining the 12 European Championship finalists. The 18 teams were then paired into two-legged play-off ties to determine the nine remaining World Championship qualifiers from Europe.[1]

All times are local.

First round
