Last updated

The 2020 IHF Women's Olympic Qualification Tournaments were held from 19 to 21 March 2021, in Spain, Hungary and Montenegro. Four teams took part in each tournament, with the two best-ranked teams qualifying for Tokyo 2020. [1] [2]

Contents

On 13 March 2020, the IHF postponed the tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] Previously, the tournaments were scheduled to take place from 20 to 22 March 2020. The tournaments were rescheduled for 19 to 21 March 2021. [4]

Format

There were three Olympic Qualification Tournaments. Only twelve teams that have not yet qualified through the five events mentioned above could play in the tournament: [5]

On 10 January 2020, North Korea withdrew and was replaced by Kazakhstan. [7] [8]

On 3 February 2020, China and Hong Kong withdrew and were replaced by Thailand. [9] [10] [11] In October 2020, China requested to be reinstated because the tournaments were moved and the IHF granted that request. [12] On 1 March 2021, China withdrew from the tournament due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Because of that, Kazakhstan was moved to Tournament 2 and no other Asian team was available (Hong Kong declined a participation and Thailand did not respond prior to the deadline), meaning that Tournament 3 was played with three teams. [13] Senegal withdrew on 9 March 2021 and was not replaced by another African team. [14]

Referees

The referees were announced on 25 February 2021. [15]
