The Saudi junior handball team has secured qualification for the 2025 edition of the Men’s Junior World Championship in Poland after their victory in the 18th Asian Men’s Junior (U21) Handball Championship held in Amman, Jordan.
The Saudi team’s path to the world championship was sealed with an impressive victory over the Oman national team, defeating them with a score of 37-23 in the final round of Group 2. The championship was exclusively for players born in 2004 and later and runs until July 25.
The junior green team solidified their place in the global tournament by advancing to the semifinals and securing a second-place finish in Group 2. They overcame Oman in the third and final round, won over Iran in the previous match, but faced a setback in the first round against Japan.
This feat marks the Saudi junior team’s fifth qualification for the World Championship after making it to the editions of 1979, 1997, 2017, and 2023.
