The 2016 African Women's Handball Championship will be held in Angola from 2–11 December 2016.[1] It acts as the African qualifying tournament for the 2017 World Women's Handball Championship.[2]
This is the first time in the history of the African championships that the male and female editions are organized in two different countries at different times. While men and women competitions are traditionally gathered in the same installations every two years in January, The African Handball Confederation (CAHB) had decided to separate the two competitions after several votes at a meeting on January 23, 2015 at the Abbasside Palace hotel in Algiers.[3]
