Qatar lose to Bahrain in Asian Handball Olympic Qualifiers

Doha: Qatar missed the opportunity to secure a berth in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games following a semi-final defeat against Bahrain in the Asian Qualifying Tournament at the Duhail Indoor Sports Hall on Thursday. 

Qatar were done-in in the dying moments of the match 29-30 as Bahrain advanced to the title clash against Japan, who defeated South Korea 34-23 in the second semi-final. Qatar will take on South Korea in the third place play-off on Friday. 

The winners of the Doha tournament secure ticket to Paris 2024 Games, while the runners-up will seal a place for the 2024 IHF Men’s Olympic Qualification Tournaments.
