Bidding process

Originally, there were two bids, Slovenia and North Macedonia. But at the 2020 IHF Congress in Cairo, the International Handball Federation decided to not award the hosting rights due to Slovenia and North Macedonia already receiving other World Women's Under-Age Handball Competitions.^[2] The IHF received three bids.^[3]

• China
• Tunisia (withdrew)
• Turkey (withdrew)

On 12 August 2023, The IHF decided to award the hosting rights to China, with the goal of sparking the growth of Handball in the non-traditional Handball country.^[4] This is the first time an Asian country has organised this event and the first time since 2010 that the tournament will be held outside of Europe.

Venues

The matches will be played in Chuzhou.
