Handball is a team sport in which two teams of seven players each (six outfield players and one goalkeeper) compete to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s goal. The game is played on a rectangular court, typically indoors, with a goal situated at each end. Players pass, dribble, and shoot the ball while aiming to outmaneuver their opponents.
The objective is to score as many goals as possible within a set period, usually two 30-minute halves. Handball is characterized by its fast pace and high scoring; players can use any part of their bodies above the knee to touch the ball but must not hold or dribble for too long. The sport combines elements of basketball, soccer, and water polo, emphasizing teamwork, strategy, and agility.
Handball is governed by the International Handball Federation (IHF) and has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in Europe, with various professional leagues and a robust international competition structure, including the Handball World Championship and the Olympic Games.
