After the successful inaugural 2012 World Youth (age 18 & under) championships in Perth, Australia this summer the respective second editions will be held. First up the men's tournament in Istanbul, Turkey. Here no less than nineteen teams will try become the successor of Italy who claimed the gold medal late 2012 by winning a memorable final over Hungary 8-10. The highly talented side went on to also conquer the 20 & under World Juniors in Szombathelyi, Hungary the following year. And with standouts Andrea Fondelli and Alessandro Velotto already in action for the senior Italian team at the recent European championships in Budapest winning the bronze medal, one could see where having success at these junior tournaments can lead up to. Serbia's Dusan Mandic is one of the other true examples.
Now a busy preliminary round kicks off on Saturday with special attention to group A where Spain and Hungary will meet USA while Serbia and Croatia (battling for the bronze in the 2012 edition, Serbia won 8-7) were drawn in group D with Peru, Canada and New Zealand as opponents. The Serbs will miss one of the greatest talents of this generation in centre-back Nikola Jaksic who is recovering from an injury in the hope of being fit in time for the later U19 European Junior Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia. Meanwhile defending champions Italy face hosts Turkey, Brazil, Russia and South Africa in group C. The five-team group B is led by last year's U17 European championship gold medallists Montenegro who take on Australia, Iran, Argentina and Japan in the group stage. The respective group winners advance to the quarter-finals, the second and third-ranked teams play a qualification round to join them.
