The 2025 IHF Men's U19 Handball World Championship was the 11th edition of the IHF Men's U19 Handball World Championship held from 6 to 17 August in Egypt under the aegis of International Handball Federation (IHF). It was first time in history that the championship was organised by Egyptian Handball Federation.[1]
Spain were the defending champions but lost to Germany in the final, who secured their first title.[2]
Bidding process
Three nations entered bid for hosting the tournament:
North Macedonia and Poland later withdrew their bid. The tournament was initially awarded to Slovenia by the IHF Council in its meeting held in Cairo, Egypt on 28 February 2020.[3] However, there were no further details on Slovenia's preparations four years later and were stripped of the hosting rights in September 2024, with Egypt being named the replacement.
