kézilabdában

Kézilabdában, also known as handball, is a popular team sport played with a ball and two teams of seven players each. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team by throwing the ball into the opponent's goal. The game is played on a rectangular court, typically 40 meters long and 20 meters wide, with a goal area at each end. Each team is allowed six players on the court at any given time, with one player designated as the goalkeeper.

The rules of kézilabdában are designed to encourage physical contact and strategic play. Players are allowed to use their hands, arms, and torso to control and pass the ball, but they must not use their feet or head. The game is divided into two 30-minute halves, with a 15-minute halftime break. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, the game proceeds to a sudden-death overtime period, followed by a shootout if necessary.

Kézilabdában is played at various levels, from recreational to professional. It is particularly popular in Europe, where it is one of the most widely played team sports. The sport has a rich history, with the first official handball match played in Germany in 1917. The International Handball Federation (IHF) was founded in 1946 and oversees the sport's global development and competition.

The sport has seen significant growth in recent years, with the inclusion of handball in the 2020 Summer Olympics. The game requires a combination of speed, agility, and strategic thinking, making it an exciting and engaging sport for both players and spectators.
