British Handball Association
Encyclopedia
The British Handball Association is the governing body of Team Handball
in Britain. It is a member of the International Handball Federation
(IHF) since 1970 and of the European Handball Federation
(EHF) for IHF matters. Other representation at European level is under different national associations: the England Handball Association
and the Scottish Handball Association
. This dual structure, which is shared by several others sports, reflects the conflict between the desire of the home nations
to organise the sport separately, and the need to have an overall body for international purposes, such as the Olympics.
