2015 World Men's Handball Championship

The games of the tournament were played in 3 cities: Doha, Al Rayyan and the newly created town of Lusail.

Three new venues were constructed for the tournament:

• Lusail Sports Arena{{cite web|url=http://www.qatarhandball2015.com/lusail-multipurpose-hall/|title=Lusail Multipurpose Hall – 24th Men's Handball World Championship|website=qatarhandball2015.com}} in the town of Lusail: with a capacity of 15,300 seats, Lusail Sports Arena became the main venue of the tournament. The hall opened in November 2014.
• Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiya Arena in the town of Al Rayyan: with a capacity of 7,700 seats. The hall is part of the Al-Sadd Club sports complex.
• Duhail Handball Sports Hall in the capital Doha: with a capacity of 5,500 spectators. The hall is part of the Qatar Handball Association (QHA) complex.

Twenty-four teams participated in the final tournament. Qatar, as hosts and Spain, as world champions, were automatically qualified, which left 22 places available for the best teams of each continental qualification tournament and the winners of an additional European qualification competition.

In a decision taken by the International Handball Federation on 8 July 2014 the spot allocated for a nation from Oceania was revoked on the grounds that Oceania has no continental confederation. The national team, qualified for this spot through the 2014 Oceania Handball Championship, was Australia. The spot was instead handed out as a wild card to the nation with the highest ranking at the previous world championships not qualified for the Qatar tournament. This nation was Germany.{{cite web|url=https://archive.ihf.info/MediaCenter/News/NewsDetails/tabid/130/Default.aspx?ID=2001|title=IHF Council Meeting held in Zagreb|date=2014-07-08|work=ihf.info}} Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates withdrew on 7 November 2014.{{cite web|url=https://archive.ihf.info/MediaCenter/News/NewsDetails/tabid/130/Default.aspx?ID=2186|title=Bahrain withdraws from the 2015 Men's World Championship|date=2014-11-07|work=ihf.info}}{{cite web|url=https://archive.ihf.info/MediaCenter/News/NewsDetails/tabid/130/Default.aspx?ID=2188|title=The United Arab Emirates withdraw from the 2015 World Championship|date=2014-11-10|work=ihf.info}} Iceland and Saudi Arabia were chosen as the replacements.{{cite web|url=https://archive.ihf.info/MediaCenter/News/NewsDetails/tabid/130/Default.aspx?ID=2197|title=IHF Council decision on withdrawal of Bahrain and United Arab Emirates from 2015 Men's WCh|date=2014-11-21|work=ihf.info}}

The final rankings were used in the 2016 Summer Olympics qualification process. France, as World Champion, qualified for the Olympics. The next 6 teams earned a place in the Olympic Qualification Tournaments. Qatar and Germany, however, won their continental tournaments (qualifying them directly for the Olympics) and thus their spots in the Olympic Qualification Tournaments went to Slovenia and Macedonia.

As mentioned under qualifications, Australia lost its spot in the tournament due to an IHF decision, being replaced by Germany, who had not originally qualified. Further, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates withdrew.

A large number of players in the Qatar team had been naturalised in the years leading up to the championship. According to IHF rules, to gain eligibility for a new national team, a player cannot have played for another nation for three years in an official match.{{cite web|title=Player Eligibility Code|url=http://ihf.info/files/Uploads/NewsAttachments/0_03%20-%20player%20eligibility_GB.pdf|website=ihf.info|publisher=International Handball Federation|access-date=29 January 2015|page=5|quote=They shall not have played in any national team of another country in the three years preceding their first appearance in the national team in an official match.}}{{cite web|title=Qatar's foreign legion primed for handball date with Germany|url=http://www.dw.de/qatars-foreign-legion-primed-for-handball-date-with-germany/a-18219900|publisher=Deutsche Welle|access-date=29 January 2015}} This allowed several foreign-born players, including Spanish-born Borja Vidal, Goran Stojanović and Jovo Damjanović from Montenegro, and Bertrand Roiné who previously played for France, to play for the Qatar team at the championship. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine, only four of the 17 players in the squad were native to Qatar.{{cite web|title=Falsche Fans simulieren Stimmung|url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/sport/mehr-sport/handball-wm/handball-wm-in-qatar-falsche-fans-simulieren-stimmung-13380832.html|website=Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung|publisher=Frankfurter Allgemeine|access-date=31 January 2015|ref=naturealisation-frankfurter|language=de|trans-title=Fake fans simulate excitement}}

Head of the Qatar Handball Federation, Ahmed Mohammed Abdulrab Al Shaabi, acknowledged the policy in a statement in June 2013, saying "We're a small nation with limited human resources, so we had to bring players from outside in the past." He also announced an end to the policy at the time, adding however that they "[might] make an exception only in the case of an experienced goalkeeper."{{cite web|title=Al Shaabi says no to further naturalisation|url=http://www.dohastadiumplusqatar.com/al-shaabi-naturalisation/|website=dohastadiumplusqatar.com|access-date=29 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130706172347/http://www.dohastadiumplusqatar.com/al-shaabi-naturalisation/|archive-date=6 July 2013|url-status=dead}} In January 2014, Danish sports agent Mads Winther said he had met with "contacts involved with Qatar" regarding the possibility of naturalising Danish players.{{cite web|last1=Wenande|first1=Christian|title=Qatar targeting Danish handball players ahead of hosting of 2015 worlds|url=http://cphpost.dk/news/qatar-targeting-danish-handball-players-ahead-of-hosting-of-2015-worlds.8446.html|work=The Copenhagen Post|access-date=31 January 2015|ref=naturalisation-cphpost}}

The practice was criticised by Austrian goalkeeper after his team's loss to Qatar in the round of 16, saying "It [felt] like playing against a world selection team" and "I think it is not the sense of a world championship."{{cite web|title=Qatar handball team coach faces questions over foreign players|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31031852|publisher=BBC|access-date=29 January 2015}} At a press conference during the championship, Qatar head coach Valero Rivera declined to comment on the matter. Spanish player Joan Cañellas did not think it was an issue, saying "If they can do it, why not."

After the controversial semi-final against Poland, and reaching the final as a result, the practice was even more criticised, with players such as Danijel Šarić having now represented four different national teams.{{cite web|url=http://eurosport.onet.pl/pilka-reczna/mistrzostwa-swiata-pilkarzy-recznych/danijel-saric-to-on-zabral-polakom-final-ms/ygpjd|title=Danijel Sarić – to on "zabrał" Polakom finał MŚ|date=30 January 2015|website=onet.pl}}

Qatar flew in about 60 Spanish fans to cheer for Qatar during the championship.{{cite web|url=http://www.thelocal.es/20150116/qatar-handball-team-buys-noisy-spanish-fans|title=Qatar 'buys' noisy Spanish handball fans|date=16 January 2015|website=thelocal.es}}

During the first 12 matches of the tournament, 143 two-minute suspensions were awarded by the referees, a figure that came under strong criticism from teams, who had not been informed of the IHF Referee Committee's instructions to referees commanding them to keep a strict disciplinary line.{{cite web|url=http://www.dr.dk/Sporten/Haandbold/VM-herrer/Nyheder/2015/01/17/130904.htm|title=Dansk dommer om de mange udvisninger: IHF vil have en hård linje|website=dr.dk}}

The referees were widely accused of being one-sided in favour of the hosts.
