    The history of handball<\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Handball<\/strong> is a relatively young team sport<\/strong>, but it has rapidly established itself as one of the most spectacular in the world. Its origins date back to the end of the 19th century<\/strong>, in several Northern and Eastern European countries. At the time, various forms of handball were played, notably in Denmark, Germany and Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n

    In 1917, the German Carl Schelenz laid the foundations of modern handball<\/strong> by codifying precise rules. The game was then played 11 against 11<\/strong>, outdoors, on pitches similar to those used for soccer. This version was even entered in the 1936 Olympic Games<\/strong> in Berlin.<\/p>\n

    But it was after the Second World War that a major change took place: the 7 player version<\/strong>, played indoors, gained in popularity. Faster, more dynamic and better suited to northern climates, it became the norm. 7 a-side handball was finally recognized as an Olympic discipline in 1972<\/strong> for men, then in 1976<\/strong> for women.<\/p>\n

    Since then, handball<\/strong> has gone from strength to strength on the international stage. Today, it is particularly popular in Europe, with nations such as France, Germany, Norway and Denmark dominating competitions. This intense, technical and collective sport captivates through its speed of execution and constant suspense.<\/p>\n

    In Canada<\/strong>, handball<\/strong> was first known as \u201cBorden Ball<\/strong>\u201d, a simplified version of the game introduced during the Second World War<\/strong> by European prisoners<\/strong> of war at a camp in Ontario.
    \nIn the 1950s, handball began to take shape as a competitive sport. The Canadian Olympic Handball Federation<\/a> was founded in 1962<\/strong>.
    \nSince then, men’s championships<\/strong> have been held every year since 1968<\/strong>, and women’s championships<\/strong> since 1973<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
