Each year, the EHF publishes a ranking that announces the place attribution for the following season (number of teams for each Federation in the various competitions). For the 2023/24 season, the system changed. The coefficients and ranks were not determined by the overall performance of a federation, as it used to be. The performances are separated by competitions (e.g.: good performance by french teams in the Champions League would not allocate more places for french teams in the European League).
