Europe's biggest club tournament will expand from 16 to 24 teams starting next season. But Sweden has no permanent place, and IFK Kristianstad had to rely on a wildcard application to get a place in the Champions League.

On Tuesday, the European Handball Federation announced that the Swedish champions were one of 13 clubs to have their application approved.

The last time a Swedish team participated in the Champions League on the men's side was the 2019-2020 season, when IFK Kristianstad went out in the group stage.

The draw for the group stage will take place on Friday.
