Handball is a team sport played indoors where two teams of seven players try to pass and throw a ball into the opposing team's goal. A standard match consists of two 30-minute periods, and the team with the most goals at the end wins. The game moves quickly and allows body contact between defensive and offensive players. When a defender stops an attack, play is restarted by the attacking team. Unlike other sports, handball does not limit the number of fouls a player can commit. Goals are frequently scored, with both teams often reaching 20 or more goals due to improved offensive play and counter-attacks in recent decades.
