European Handball Rules. European Handball is a high paced sport and can be explained as a mix between soccer, netball and basketball and can be played indoors or outdoors, on sand, grass or timbered floor. The European Handball court is the size of two basketball courts (40 meters long by 20 meters wide). The European Handball Federation (EHF) is the umbrella organisation for European handball.Founded on 17 November 1991, it is made of 50 member federations and two associated federations (England and Scotland), and is headquartered in Vienna, Austria.

History[edit]

In year 1946, the International Handball Federation was founded by eight European nations,^[1] and though non-European nations competed at the World Championships, the medals had always been taken by European nations.^[2]European Handball Federation is founded in 1991. At the same time (1995), the World Championship was changed from a quadrennial to a biannual event, and the European Handball Federation now began its own championship – which also acted as a regional qualifier for the World Championship.^[3]
