Beach handball originated in Italy in the 1990s and has since gained worldwide popularity as a team sport that blends athleticism, entertainment, and visual appeal. It is now included in the Summer Youth Olympic Games and World Games, with Croatia, Spain, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina leading in world rankings.

The court measures 27 meters in length and 12 meters in width, with a minimum sand depth of 40 cm, and consists of a central playing area and two goal zones. Goals are 3 meters wide and 2 meters high.

Each team comprises 10 players, with four on the court at any time (three field players and one goalkeeper). Matches are divided into two 10-minute halves, separated by a 5-minute break. Teams earn one point for a regular goal and two points for creative shots such as a 360° spin shot, an alley-oop, a 6-meter throw, or a goalkeeper goal.

If the score is tied at the end of a half, a “golden goal” determines the winner. If both teams win one half each, the match is decided by a 1-on-1 shootout (five attempts per team).

Played to upbeat music under the sun, beach handball embodies the joyful fusion of competition and celebration, showcasing the harmony between humanity and nature while thrilling both athletes and spectators.
