The 3rd IHF Council Meeting was held on the fringe of the 2018 IHF Super Globe in Doha, Qatar on October 18, with a number of important items on the agenda.
A significant item of note discussed on Thursday regarding World Championships is the expansion of the event, from 24 teams to 32. The Council made the decision to apply this expansion at the World Championships – for senior, junior and youth in both genders – starting from 2021, with the goal of providing an opportunity for more nations to gain experience on the biggest international stage.
