Doha, Qatar: Tickets for the upcoming 24th Men's Handball World Championship are now on sale with an expected high demand for the major international contest.

With the ticketing website now live, sports fans all around the world can order tickets for the matches and also learn more about the remarkable championship.

The championship begins on 15 January 2015, with a grand opening ceremony followed by the first match between the host country Qatar and Brazil at the new Lusail Multi-Purpose Hall. This will count one of the great experiences for all our fans in Qatar and in the region, as they get to see their world's best teams play the ‘Game of fast'.

The tournament matches will take place across three venues; Lusail Multi-Purpose Hall in Lusail, Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiya Arena in Al Sadd and the Duhail Handball Sport Hall in Duhail starting on the 16th of January 2015

The website allows people to choose their tickets according to their preference; whether it's by their favourite team, by date or even by venue.

People are advised to book early, as pre-registered tickets will receive their allotment first. Varieties of ticket prices are available according to everyone's seating preferences

All ticket sale proceeds will go to “Educate A Child”, a global programme from Education Above All (EAA), founded by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, that aims to increase the number of children worldwide who can access education.

Dr. Thani Abdulrahman Al Kuwari, Director General, Qatar 2015 said: “Today is an important milestone in our progress towards hosting this prestigious event. Given Qatar 2015's global nature, we've ensured that people can book their tickets wherever they are in the world through our website. The ticketing website covers everything taking in the championship with full details on match schedules, venues and ticket prices.”

Qatar 2015 will shortly open outlets all around Qatar, so that people can buy tickets over the counter if they prefer too. Each of the competition venues will also have Ticket Box Offices, so that people can buy tickets directly and on the day of the event, depending on availability. The launch of online tickets sales will further boost interest in the event regionally as Doha counts down to the 24th Men's Handball World Championship.
