Wildcards

After no Oceanian team achieved a top 5 finish in the Asian Championship, two wildcards were given out by the IHF. On 31 March 2025, China was given the first wildcard due to good performances and country's position, making it a big market for the sport. [14]

The United States were provisionally given a wildcard, so the team could use this opportunity to prepare for the 2028 Summer Olympics which they will be hosting. [2] [3] However, their lack of progress led the IHF to choose a different wildcard. Later on, four countries applied.

After their play off loss to Serbia, Slovenia's coach, Dragan Adžić, stated that his team deserved the last wildcard. [15] On 12 May 2025, Croatia was given the second wildcard, with Slovenia as the first standby. [16] [17]

Notes

  1. All hosting federations are automatically entitled to take part in the World Championship. If there is more than one organiser from the same continental confederation, the number of compulsory places of the respective confederation shall be reduced accordingly. If there is more than one organiser and the organisers are not from the same confederation, the IHF Council shall decide about the reduction of the compulsory places, considering only the compulsory places of the confederations involved.
  2. The reigning world champion automatically qualifies for the next World Championship and, as a rule, is placed first in the first performance row. In case the reigning world champion is also hosting the next World Championship, the confederation of the reigning world champion obtains one additional performance place.
  3. The continental confederation of Oceania does not have a direct compulsory place for a confederational qualification event, therefore, the Oceanian confederation is invited to participate in the Asian qualification events. The compulsory place is awarded to Oceania if the representative from Oceania is ranked 5th or higher in the Asian qualification. If Oceania fails to rank 5th or does not participate, the IHF Council will award this place as a free wild card.
  4. If the teams representing Oceania fail to finish in the top 5 of the Asian Championship or does not participate, the IHF Council will change Oceania's spot into a second wild card.
  5. There are ways of qualifying from Europe, via the European Championship or European qualification
  6. The Asian Championship acts as qualification for the Oceanian teams.
  7. Oceanian teams who enter, participate in the Asian Championship to decides their qualification. However, Australia withdrew before the tournament, meaning no Oceanian team qualified.
