The 2022 European Men's Handball Championship qualification was a handball competition organized by the European Handball Federation (EHF) to determine 20 of the 24 men's national teams competing in the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship final tournament. They joined the other four teams already qualified: Hungary and Slovakia, as final tournament co-hosts, and Spain and Croatia, who finished in the top two positions in the previous championship. Those four played in the EHF Euro Cup.
This qualification competition was being disputed by a total of 40 national teams in three phases between January 2019 and May 2021.
Qualification system edit
The campaign was split into two distinct qualification phases and a relegation round.
Qualification phase 1 comprises teams which didn't participate at the 2020 EHF Euro qualification Phase 2. The two best teams advanced to the relegation round.
In the relegation round, the two teams that advanced from phase 1 were joined by the highest ranked European team at the 2019 IHF Emerging Nations Championship and they faced the three lowest ranked fourth-placed teams from the 2020 EHF Euro qualification. Three winners of those elimination matches advanced to the qualification phase 2.
Qualification phase 2 comprised three winners from the relegation round along with 29 teams which participated at either the 2020 EHF Euro or the qualification phase 2.
Qualification Phase 1 edit
Seeding edit
The draw for the qualification round 1 was held on 28 September 2018 in Vienna, Austria.[1] This qualification was played in a tournament format, with the teams able to choose whether they wanted to play on 4 to 6 January or 11 to 13 January 2019.

Qualification Phase 2 edit
In this round, pre-qualified teams from the EHF EURO 2020 qualification and final tournaments joined the three winners from the relegation round. The 32 teams were split into eight groups of four, with the winners and runners-up qualifying for the final tournament, together with the four best third-placed teams.[4]
The draw was initially scheduled to take place at the EHF Executive Committee meeting in Bratislava on 23 April 2020.[5] On 13 March 2020, the EHF announced that the draw would be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic across Europe,[6] with the new date set for 16 June 2020.[7][8]
Seeding edit
On 2 June 2020, the EHF revealed the seeding pots and the draw procedure. The 32 teams qualified for this stage were seeded in four pots, according to the EHF men's national team ranking. The draw allocated successively the eight teams from Pot 3, followed by the eight teams from Pot 2, Pot 1 and finally Pot 4. For political reasons, Kosovo (Pot 4) was drawn to a group not containing Serbia (Pot 2).[9]
All times are local.
