2023 World Men's Handball Championship – European qualification

The European qualification for the 2023 World Men's Handball Championship determined nine European contestants at the final tournament, which joined six already qualified teams: Sweden and Poland, as co-hosts, Denmark, as title holder, and three best ranked teams at 2022 European Men's Handball Championship excluding Sweden, Poland and Denmark.

Format

Qualification campaign was organized into two phases.

In the Phase 1, 16 teams not participating at the 2022 European Championship were split into four groups of four teams; the group winners and runners-up advanced to the second phase.

The Phase 2 was divided into two parts.

The Phase 2 part 1 comprised eight teams advanced from the first phase, joined by the best ranked team according EHF Men´s National Team Ranking List. Those nine teams faced the nine lowest-ranked teams from the 2022 European Championship which haven't qualified directly for the World Championship. The winners of nine ties (home and away matches) proceeded to the second part.

The Phase 2 part 2 comprised nine winners from the first part which faced the nine highest-ranked teams from the 2022 European Championship which haven't qualified directly for the World Championship. The winners of nine ties (home and away matches) qualified for the 2023 World Men's Handball Championship. ^[1]

Qualification phase 1

The draw took place on 19 August 2021. ^{[2] [3]} Each group can decide if they want to play home-and away matches or play the games at a single venue.
