1957 World Women's Handball Championship (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1957 World Women's Handball Championship took place in Virovitica, Croatia and Belgrade, Serbia within Yugoslavia in 1957. Handball (also known as team handball, Olympic handball, European handball, or Borden ball) is a team sport in which two teams of seven players each (six outfield players and a goalkeeper) pass a ball to throw it into the goal of the other team. A standard match consists of two periods of 30 minutes, and the team with the most goals scored wins. Modern handball is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the forms of field handball and Czech handball (which were more common in the past) and beach handball (also called sandball).
