Aalborg snubbed as PSG gets wildcard for Club World Championship

For the first time since 2019, the runner-up of the Champions League has missed out on a wildcard to the IHF Club World Championship (previously IHF Super Globe). Instead, PSG, who did not make it to the Final Four, received the chance, according to handball oracle Rasmus Boysen.
