Handball
Handball is an Olympic sport, first introduced at the 1936 Berlin Games for men only in the 11-player outdoor format. In its current 7-player indoor format, it was not reintroduced until 1972 at the Munich Games for the men, and was included in the programme for the women at the Montreal Games in 1976.
The matches in the Paris 2024 handball tournaments, involving 12 men's and 12 women's teams, will take place from 25 July to 11 August.
