Ukraine and the Czech Republic both booked themselves on the plane to the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship on Tuesday with dominant wins over North Macedonia and Switzerland respectively.

The tournament in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in December will be Ukraine's first major championship since they participated in the EHF EURO 2014, and their first World Championship berth since 2009. Meanwhile the Czech women will be making their second straight appearance at the tournament they won back in 1957 as Czechoslovakia.
