After Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 were postponed, the event starts this weekend as Saturday 24 July is the first day of Handball Men's Preliminary Round. 

There are 12 teams divided in two groups of six, playing the preliminary round from 24 July to 1 August. After that, the four best teams from each group will go through to the Quarter finals on 3 August, then Semi finals on 5 August and Finals on 7 August.

Among 12 teams, there are no SEHA - Gazprom League countries, but some of the players are in action with their national teams such as Omar Yahia, Jorge Maqueda, Kentin Mahe, Rodrigo Corrales and Eduardo Gurbindo.

We wish them good luck in their Tokyo challenges!
