2017 World Women's Handball Championship – European qualification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European qualification for the 2017 World Women's Handball Championship in Germany was played over two rounds. The 2017 hosts Germany and the 2015 Champion Norway qualified automatically for the World Championship.

In the first round of qualification, the 15 teams who did not participate in the 2016 European Championship were split into four groups. The first and second placed teams from Groups 1–3 and the first placed team from Group 4 joined the eleven teams from the European Championship that did not qualify directly in a playoff to determine the nine teams that qualified for the 2017 World Championship.
