The bidding timeline was as follows:[1]
On 4 May 2017 it was announced that the following nations had sent in an official expression of interest:[2]
However, when the deadline for submitting the final bids was over, the following applications had been received:[3]
Macedonia tried to bid by themselves originally, but would later join up with their Balkan neighbors from Slovenia and Montenegro.[4][5][6][7] President of the Macedonian federation, Zhivko Mukaetov, was quoted saying:[8]
"I am also optimistic about the 2022 European championship organisation. The idea is to perform together and try to bring the championship to Skopje, Ljubljana and Podgorica. I think the performance together, regionally, obviously produces results and I think we have not good chances, but great chances to organize it. It will be a big plus for Macedonia, I think we will affirm the country and handball in a very positive way. Women's handball is currently has lower development than the male counterpart, so this will be an injection to get a level at least close to men's handball."
Throughout early 2018, they further promoted their bid, including going to Croatia for the 2018 European Men's Handball Championship.[9][3] Their slogan is We Can Handball.[10]
In April 2018, concerns were brought up about their bid as the venues in Celje and Podgorica were deemed to have needed a lot of renovation for the championship.[11]
The main round would be in Skopje and Ljubljana, with the final weekend at the Arena Stožice in Ljubljana.
Russia had originally stated an interest in bidding for the event,[12] but decided to bid for 2024 instead.[13] Although they would withdraw their interest from that event also.
On the 20 June 2018, Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro won the hosting rights.[14][15]
