For those who have just been introduced to the game, it is played in an indoor court between two teams, of seven players each. The players' objective is to put the ball into the goal post of the opposing team using only their hands. The team with the most number of goals at full time wins. Full rules and more information are available from the International governing body, the International Handball Federation, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Handball is recognised as an Olympic sport and boasts its own "World Handball Day" that was initiated in 1994. Over 40 nations reported participation in promotional activities on the day. Even countries in the southern hemisphere such as Australia have shown an interest in the game.
Although there are references throughout history dating back to the Greeks and Romans describing similar games, today's game was only really established in its present form in the twentieth century. Denmark, Sweden and Germany were the pioneers of the development of the modern game.
Centrebet also offers football odds for a wide range of European soccer fixtures, as well as offering online sports betting, bandy betting and floorball facilities on most major sporting codes and events. Books for these sporting codes are now open for Centrebet customers. You can check Centrebet's Online Sports Betting Calendar for more current bet options. In order to bet on these international sporting events, you first need to register to bet with Centrebet on our secure bet site.
