Five-day international handball tournament runs in Ohrid from 18–22 August 2026; GRK Ohrid defends the trophy.
The fifth edition of the international handball tournament "Krste Andonovski" will take place in Ohrid from 18 August to 22 August 2026, with GRK Ohrid entering the event as defending champion.
In Group B, Vardar opens against Olympiakos; the Macedonian champion is also scheduled to play against Nexe and Trimo Trebnje during the group stage.
Group A features hosts GRK Ohrid, who begin their campaign against the Egypt under-20 selection. The first day of competition will finish with a Group A clash between Vojvodina and Zagreb.
A rematch of recent domestic events could be on the cards: should both teams progress, a final between GRK Ohrid and Vardar would repeat the pairing seen at the Struga tournament, offering Vardar the opportunity to avenge their loss in the Struga final.

All matches are scheduled at SC "Biljanini Izvori". Ticketing is set at 100 denars for a single match, while a block ticket valid for the entire tournament is priced at 800 denars.
Organizers expect competitive games across both groups and hope for strong local attendance as the regional sides and invited clubs contest the trophy over five days in Ohrid.
