Men's Handball IHF World Championship 2023

I'd like to repeat that from an Olympic qualifier point of view, not having an 9-12 ranking matches was a dumb move. The third place team in Group IV has a huge advantage. With teams like Bahrain, Belgium and the United States they are able to run-up the goal differential and finish 9th and be in an excellent position to qualify to the final Olympic qualification event. Of course we could have a third place team in a different group end with a 4W-1L record.

Could someone post a link to qualification system for Paris? How does this qualification for OQT works exactly?

Portugal, Cape Verde & Brazil all in the same Stage II group   Almost a shame Macau doesn't play handball much

Here's the link

 

Currently the format has the top six unqualified nations at the World Championships qualifying to one of three tournaments. Since Oceania won't finish in the top 12, the two best performing continents at the World Championships (likely Europe and Africa) will qualify two teams from their respective continental qualifier while the other two continents will only qualify one team.

I didn't understand much, but somehow Brazil and Portugal ended in a tie.

[thepharoah 2,405]

that was a really interesting end , but Brazil deserved this point 

[Vektor 3,326]

Our group is getting very spicy. Thanks to Brazil we still have a chance even if we lose against Sweden today, which is expected. We obviously have to beat  and  to stay alive, the rest is up to the other teams. 6 points might be enough for us (or for any team in our group) to reach a OQT spot. 

 

I think top2 of the group will be  and  in the end as it was expected. The  v  match will decide the 3rd spot in the group.

Good first 20 minutes for us in match against Spain, and then, as usually our game collapsed...

[Vektor 3,326]

No chance whatsoever against Sweden, our only hope is that they will fall asleep in the second half.
