European Handball

European Handball, also known simply as handball, is a team sport where two teams, usually consisting of seven players each, compete to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s goal. Played on a rectangular court, the game emphasizes quick passing, strategic teamwork, and dynamic movement. Each team has a goalkeeper who is the only player allowed to use their body to block the ball within a designated area.

The sport is governed by the European Handball Federation (EHF) in Europe and is characterized by its fast-paced action and high scoring. Matches typically consist of two halves, and the team with the most goals at the end wins. European Handball is particularly popular in various European countries, with professional leagues and international competitions, including the EHF European Championship and the UEFA Handball Champions League. The game promotes physical fitness, coordination, and teamwork among players and has a strong following in terms of both spectators and participants.
