The 2025 IHF Men’s World Championship draw ceremony took place in Doha, Qatar, where the Qatar handball team was placed in Group C alongside tough competitors such as reigning Olympic champions France, Austria, and Kuwait for the first stage of the tournament.

The draw was conducted in accordance with the regulations, assigning teams based on the host cities.

Group A is expected to be the most balanced, with Germany, Czechia, Poland, and wild card Switzerland set to battle for a spot in the main round. Group E in Baerum, Oslo, will also be challenging, as Sweden will face Spain, Japan, and Chile in a clash of different playing styles. Group D in Varazdin will see Hungary, the Netherlands, and North Macedonia facing debutants Guinea, the only team making their first appearance at the IHF Men’s World Championship in this edition.
