The EHF European League - the second-tier EHF club competition - gets more and more relevant for national team players. Besides those 120 players from the Machineseeker EHF Champions League clubs, who are on court at the 2023 Men’s World Championship in Poland and Sweden, 69 players from 17 European League clubs are also part of the event - which means an overall of 189 players from the two top competitions. Defending World Champions Denmark only rely on players from the Champions League and European League (each nine) in their World Championship squad.
