Handball, as a modern sport, was developed in the late 19th century in Europe, with roots tracing back to earlier games played in ancient cultures. The first official rules were established in 1917 by Danish gym teacher Holger Nielsen, who created a version of the game called "håndbold." The sport gained further structure and popularity in the 1920s, primarily in Germany and Sweden, leading to the establishment of international competitions and the formation of the International Handball Federation in 1946.
