The 2023 IHF Men's Junior World Championship will be 24th edition of the championship to be held at Germany and Greece under the aegis of International Handball Federation (IHF) from 20 June to 2 July 2023. It will be second time in history that the championship will be jointly organised by two countries, the first being in 1979.[1]

Bidding process[]

Two nations entered bid for hosting the tournament:

Croatia later withdrew their bid. The tournament was awarded to Germany by IHF Council in its meeting held in Cairo, Egypt on 28 February 2020.

In May/June 2021, the Hellenic Handball Federation approached to German Handball Association with request to co-host the 2023 Men's Junior World Handball Championship due to the cancellation of the 2021 Men's Youth World Handball Championship, which was supposed to be hosted by Greece. On 15 July 2021, the IHF Council unanimously approved the request from Germany and Greece to co-host the event.[2][3]
