Magdeburg misses out on its fourth consecutive title in the IHF Super Globe Club World Championship. The team with Swiss players Nikola Portner and Manuel Zehnder lost to Veszperem 33:34 after overtime.

The Hungarians won the title at the second attempt. In 2015, they were defeated by Füchse Berlin, who kicked off Germany's run of nine finals in a row. The tournament's record winner remains FC Barcelona with five titles, who had to settle for fourth place this year.
