Handball

Handball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of seven players each, compete to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s net. The game is played on a rectangular court with a goal at each end. Players use their hands to pass, dribble, and shoot the ball while aiming to outmaneuver their opponents and score points.

Handball is characterized by its fast-paced action, requiring players to demonstrate skills such as speed, agility, teamwork, and strategic thinking. The sport can be played indoors or outdoors, with indoor handball being more widely recognized and organized at competitive levels globally. The game is governed by regulations set by the International Handball Federation (IHF).

Matches typically consist of two 30-minute halves, with the team scoring the most goals declared the winner. Handball is known for its dynamic play style and promotes both physical fitness and hand-eye coordination. It is particularly popular in Europe, with various international competitions, including the World Championships and the Olympic Games.
