The2021IHF World Men's Handball Championship was the 27th event hosted by theInternational Handball Federation and held inEgypt from 13 to 31 January 2021.
Starting with this edition, the World Championship was expanded from 24 teams to 32.[1] It was also the third World Championship hosted in Africa, the second in Egypt, and the first to be hosted outside of Europe since2015.
Denmark were the defending champions, having won their first World Championship title in2019 on home soil. They defended the title by beating Sweden in the final,[2] the second final between two Scandinavian countries in a row. On the way, Denmark defeated hosts Egypt in the quarter-finals, and the reigning European champions Spain in the semi-finals. The latter secured the bronze medal after defeating France in the third place game.[3]
The tournament was playedbehind closed doors due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[4]
Seven nations initially expressed interest in hosting the tournament:[5]
However, until the bidding phase expired on 15 April 2015, only three nations entered documents to bid for the event:[6]
A decision was scheduled for 4 June 2015, but the Congress was moved to 6 November 2015, where Egypt was chosen as the host.[7]
The 2021 edition saw a format change as the tournament was expanded. The 32 teams were split into eight groups of four teams each. The top three teams from each group progressed to the main round, while the teams ranked last in their preliminary round groups played the President's Cup. The 24 main round teams were divided into four groups of six teams each. The top two teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals.
Following is a list of all venues and host cities.

As is the previous editions, the World Championship host country and the current World directly qualified.After the decision about increasing the number of participating teams, changes were made in the proportional distribution of places by the Continental Confederations. The number of compulsory places awarded to each Continental Confederation was increased as follows: four places each for Africa, Asia, and Europe.Another change was relative to the Americas places.In 2019,the Pan-American zone was split into two zones: One was the North American and Caribbean Zone with one compulsory place, and the South and Central America Zone with three places. There was also a South and Central American Men's Last Chance Qualification Tournament which provided a qualification spot for the winning team.One additional place was available for Oceania, but only in the case where that national team would rank fifth or higher at the Asian Championship. Since no Oceania team placed among the top five at the Asian Championship, the IHF awarded an extra wild card.[8]In addition, there were 12 ranking places for the Continental Confederations, which were based on the teams ranked 1–12 of the preceding World Championship and World Ranking and who were unable to qualify directly.[9] and taking into consideration the results of the2019 Men's World Championship, 32 places were distributed as follows:

^ 1. Since countries from Oceania (Australia or New Zealand) participating in the Asian Championships did not finish within the top five, they did not qualify for the World Championship. Since they placed sixth or lower, the place transferred to the wild card spot.
^ 2. Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the South and North American qualification tournaments were scrapped. The IHF Council decided to extend the deadline for the organisation of the remaining qualification tournaments until 31 October 2020.[15]
^ 3. Because the European qualification was cancelled, the final ranking of the2020 European Men's Handball Championship was used to determine the participants.[16]
^ 4. On 9 December 2019, theWorld Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned Russia from all international sport for a period of four years, after the Russian government was found to have tampered with laboratory data that it provided to WADA in January 2019 as a condition of theRussian Anti-Doping Agency being reinstated. As a result of the ban, WADA plans to allow individually clearedRussian athletes to take part in the 2020 Summer Olympics under a neutral banner, as instigated at the 2018 Winter Olympics, but they will not be permitted to compete in team sports. The title of the neutral banner has yet to be determined; WADA Compliance Review Committee head Jonathan Taylor stated that the IOC would not be able to use "Olympic Athletes from Russia" (OAR) as it did in 2018, emphasizing that neutral athletes cannot be portrayed as representing a specific country.[17][18][19] Russia later filed an appeal to theCourt of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the WADA decision.[20] After reviewing the case on appeal, CAS ruled on 17 December 2020 to reduce the penalty that WADA had placed on Russia. Instead of banning Russia from sporting events, the ruling allowed Russia to participate at the Olympics and other international events, but for a period of two years, the team cannot use the Russian name, flag, or anthem and must present themselves as "Neutral Athlete" or "Neutral Team". The ruling does allow for team uniforms to display "Russia" on the uniform as well as the use of the Russian flag colors within the uniform's design, although the name should be up to equal predominance as the "Neutral Athlete/Team" designation.[21] The Russian team will play under the name "Russian Handball Federation Team".[22]

Places 1 to 4 and 25 to 32 were decided by play-off or knock-out. The losers of the quarter-finals were ranked 5th to 8th according to the places in the main round, points gained and goal difference. Teams finishing third in the main round were ranked 9th to 12th, teams finishing fourth in the main round were ranked 13th to 16th, teams finishing fifth in the main round were ranked 17th to 20th and teams ranked sixth were ranked 21st to 24th. In case of a tie in points gained, the goal difference of the main round were taken into account, then number of goals scored. If teams would still be equal, number of points gained in the preliminary round would be considered followed by the goal difference and then number of goals scored in the preliminary round.[35]
