Introduction<\/strong>: Handball has been around for close to a century and is regulated by the International Handball Federation (IHF). The game is also referred to as Olympic handball or team handball since it is a team sport that is played by 6 outfield players and one goalkeeper.<\/p>\n Handball games generally run for 60 minutes, broken into two halves of 30 minutes each. The game is generally played indoors on a court that is 40 by 20 meters and is played at a professional and amateur level as well. This is a high-paced sport where body contact is allowed when the team defenders are trying to stop the attack from the opposing team.<\/p>\n Handball was initially introduced at the Summer Olympics in 1936 but was removed thereafter. The sport was dominated by male players until the IHF established a women\u2019s division which helped the sport grow. Men\u2019s Handball was once again included to be a part of the Olympics in the 1972 Olympics and Women\u2019s Handball was added to the 1976 Olympics.<\/p>\n While most handball tournaments take place indoors, there are some variants such as beach handball, field handball and Czech handball.<\/p>\n Handball is not on the list of the top 5 sports in Canada but there is a small section of Canadians who like playing handball and following the sport. Some of these handball fans from Canada often place wagers on international handball tournaments at reputed websites such as 888 Sports, William Hill, Betfair, Bet365 and Paddy Power.<\/p>\n These sports betting websites give bettors the opportunity to be online or on the go as they also offer mobile sports betting apps<\/a> that are compatible with both Android and iOS platforms. The Handball World Championship is considered to be one of the biggest international handball competitions and Canadians love to wager on this event placing bets on the different teams that participate.<\/p>\n Some of the other popular handball competitions include World Games, Super Globe, IHF Trophy, IHF Emerging Nations Men\u2019s Championship and Beach Handball.<\/p>\n Handball in Canada is governed by the Canadian Team Handball Federation (CTHF) which was established back in 1962.
