The IHF Executive Committee has awarded two wild cards for the 2023 IHF Men's Super Globe, which will take place between 7 and 12 November in Saudi Arabia.

Following the decision, five-time champions and the runners-up of the last two editions, the most decorated team in the competition's history, FC Barcelona, and two-time former champions Füchse Berlin will participate in the 2023 IHF Men's Super Globe.

Barcelona have always finished on the podium in each of the eight editions they have taken part in so far at the IHF Men's Super Globe, winning the title five times, finishing as runners-up twice and ending up on the third place in 2015.

They have been a true powerhouse over the last decades, being the most decorated team in the EHF Champions League Men, where they finished on the third place last season after conceding a single loss in the semi-final against the winners of the competition, SC Magdeburg, the team which also handed them two losses in the IHF Men's Super Globe in the last two seasons.

The other wild card has been awarded to the EHF European League Men winners, Füchse Berlin, a true German powerhouse, who has written history themselves in the IHF Men's Super Globe.

In the four editions the German side took part in, they always made it to the final, winning the trophy in 2015 and 2016 and finishing on the second place in 2017 and 2018. Füchse, who have several stars in their ranks, including the MVP of the 2023 IHF Men's World Championship, right back Mathias Gidsel, will be the second German team to be at the start of the 2023 IHF Men's Super Globe, after reigning champions SC Magdeburg.

Eight of the 12 participating spots have now been sealed, with Barça and Füchse Berlin joining a star-studded line-up containing the reigning champions, SC Magdeburg, the AHF Asian Men's Club League Championship, Bahrain's Al-Najma, the CAHB African Men's Handball Super Cup's winners, Egypt's Al-Ahly, and San Fernando HB from Argentina, which sealed the title SCAHC Men's Senior Club Championship.

American side San Francisco CalHeat, the winners of the NACHC Senior Men's Club Championship, are also through, as well as Barlinek Industria Kielce, which have qualified due to finishing the Machineseeker EHF Champions League as runners-up, after the winners, Magdeburg, were automatically qualified to the 2023 IHF Men's Super Globe as the reigning champions.
