The 2023 IHF World Men's Handball Championship was the 28th such event hosted by the International Handball Federation. It was held in Poland and Sweden from 11 to 29 January 2023.

Denmark were the two-time defending champions, having won the 2019 and 2021 editions, and successfully defended their title by defeating France 34–29 in the final. In doing so, Denmark became the first men's national handball team to win three consecutive world titles. Spain beat the hosts and European champions Sweden to win a World Championship bronze medal for the third time, the second in consecutive editions.{{cite web|url=https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/denmark-write-history-otherworldly-three-peat|title=Denmark write history with otherworldly three-peat|date=29 January 2023|access-date=29 January 2023|work=ihf.info}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/spain-seal-podium-place-highest-scoring-bronze-medal-game-ever|title=Spain seal podium place in highest-scoring bronze-medal game ever|date=29 January 2023|access-date=29 January 2023|work=ihf.info}}{{Cite web |title=IHF 2023 World Men's Championship |url=https://handball23.com/ |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=IHF 2023 World Men's Championship |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=انطلاق تدريبات كأس العالم للرماية بـ العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة |url=https://akharalakhbar.com/%d8%a7%d9%86%d8%b7%d9%84%d8%a7%d9%82-%d8%aa%d8%af%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%83%d8%a3%d8%b3-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85-%d9%84%d9%84%d8%b1%d9%85%d8%a7%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a8%d9%80-%d8%a7/ |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=أخر الاخبار |language=ar}}

Marketing

The logo was unveiled on 23 August 2021. The logo was designed to be used on a dark blue background, but it may also stand alone. The logo synthetically presents a flying ball. It was inspired by a comet lighting up the sky. The symbol conveys dynamism and expression. The trails form a hand which, in combination with a ball in the foreground, create a characteristic and friendly graphic form. The logo's colors refer to the national colors of Poland and Sweden, the organizers of the Men's World Championship 2023. It carries a clear message about the sports discipline of handball. A skillful and well-balanced color split alludes to the cooperation of the event hosts and sticking together for the success of the Championship. The logo was designed by Polish design agency Studio Signature.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/official-logotype-28th-ihf-mens-world-championship|title=The official logotype of the 28th IHF Men's World Championship|publisher=International Handball Federation|date=23 October 2021|accessdate=1 January 2022}} The slogan: Stick Together was unveiled on 15 September 2021. The concept "Stick together" is the framework for all our communication and is the sender in all posts or other expressions coming from the 28th IHF Men's World Championship Poland/Sweden 2023. We use "Stick together" to talk about the big questions and the broader context, but we also use "Stick together" locally in all marketing in each host city. It symbolizes by each concept:

  • Stick together for fair play.
  • Stick together as fans.
  • Stick together as a team.
  • Stick together to challenge.
  • Stick together in the arena.
  • Stick together to win.

It is also as part of both countries sustainability and capable communication concepts.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/stick-together-communication-concept-28th-ihf-mens-world-championship|title="Stick Together" is the communication concept of the 28th IHF Men's World Championship|publisher=International Handball Federation|date=23 October 2021|accessdate=1 January 2022}}

Qualification

The World Championship hosts qualified directly, along with the reigning world champions.

Following the current IHF rules,{{Cite web|url=https://www.ihf.info/sites/default/files/2021-01/Regulations%20for%20IHF%20Competitions_E_4.pdf|title=V. Regulations for IHF Competitions (Indoor Handball)|publisher=International Handball Federation|date=9 December 2020|accessdate=1 January 2022}} the number of compulsory places awarded to each continental confederation is divided as follows: 4 places each for Africa, Asia and Europe. Because there is more than one organiser from the same Continental Confederation (Europe), the number of compulsory places of the respective Continental Confederation were reduced accordingly. So only 3 compulsory places for Europe, while Africa and Asia were kept with 4 four places allocated. Starting in 2021 Pan America was split into two zones: the North America and Caribbean zone having 1 place, and the South and Central America zone having 3 places.

One additional place were available for Oceania, but only when that region's national team ranked fifth or higher at the Asian Championship. Since no Oceania team placed among the top five at the Asian Championship, the IHF awarded an additional wild card.

In addition, several performance places were awarded for the continental confederations (12 places), which were based on the teams ranked 1–12 in the preceding World Championship.

Taking into consideration the results of the 2021 Men's World Championship, 20 out of 32 places were distributed as follows:

  • 1All hosting federations are automatically entitled to take part in the World Championship. If there is more than one organiser from the same continental confederation, the number of compulsory places of the respective confederation shall be reduced accordingly. If there is more than one organiser and the organisers are not from the same confederation, the IHF Council shall decide about the reduction of the compulsory places, considering only the compulsory places of the confederations involved.
  • 2The reigning world champion automatically qualifies for the next World Championship and, as a rule, is placed first in the first performance row. In case the reigning world champion is also hosting the next World Championship, the confederation of the reigning world champion obtains one additional performance place.
  • 3The compulsory place for Oceania is subject to fulfilling certain conditions. The continental confederation of Oceania does not have a direct compulsory place for a confederational qualification event. The confederation of Oceania is invited to participate in the Asian qualification events. The compulsory place is awarded to Oceania if the representative from Oceania is ranked 5th or higher in the Asian qualification. If Oceania fails to rank 5th or does not participate, the IHF Council will award this place as a free wild card.
  • 4The wild card shall be awarded by the IHF Council.

Final ranking and awards

= Final ranking =

Places 1 to 8 and 25 to 32 were decided by play-off or knock-out. Teams finishing third in the main round were ranked 9th to 12th, teams finishing fourth in the main round 13th to 16th, teams finishing fifth in the main round 17th to 20th and teams ranked sixth 21st to 24th. In case of a tie in points gained, the goal difference of the main round were taken into account, then number of goals scored. If teams were still equal, number of points gained in the preliminary round were considered followed by the goal difference and then number of goals scored in the preliminary round.
