The International Handball Federation (IHF) came into inception since 1946 and has been the governing body of the game since then. The IHF organized championships every four years since the World War II until 1995. But, since the championship in Iceland during that year, the competition is held every 2 years.<\/p>\n![\"nepal](\"https:\/\/www.nepalisansar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/NHA-nepal-handball-association.png\")
After football<\/a> and cricket<\/a>, handball is fast becoming a favorite of Nepal. The Nepal Handball Association (NHA), event organizers for the matches at Pokhara in January joined the IHF in 1984 and are working hard since then to promote the game in Nepal.<\/p>\n
