Handball

Handball is a team sport that involves two teams of seven players each, including a goalkeeper. The objective of the game is to score goals by throwing a ball into the opposing team’s net. Played on a rectangular court, handball combines elements of basketball, soccer, and water polo, emphasizing quick movements, teamwork, and strategic passing. Players can use any part of their body above the knee to control the ball, but they must dribble or pass it while moving. Matches consist of two halves, and the team with the most goals at the end of the game wins. Handball is played both indoors and outdoors, with indoor handball being the more common format, particularly at professional and international levels. The sport is popular in various regions, especially in Europe, where major championships and leagues are held.
