New South Wales Handball Association

From 12 to 18 July 2026, the global handball community will once again unite for the seventh edition of International Handball Week, a celebration that carries even greater meaning this year as the International Handball Federation marks its 80th anniversary.

On 12 July 1946, exactly 80 years ago, the IHF was officially certified, marking the start of a journey that has transformed handball from a largely regional sport into a truly global game. Eight decades later, the federation now counts 211 member federations, with handball played, followed and celebrated on every continent.

So why isn’t sport prioritised for girls?!🤷‍♀️

New research from Sky has revealed...

🚧Boys spend 1.4 hours more per week playing sport than girls – that’s the equivalent of 280m hours per year across the UK

📉 Girls are facing a postcode lottery with those in urban areas missing out on 100 minutes of exercise each week

😔 In areas with the lowest levels of sports provision, the participation gap is 46% wider than in places with the highest provision

The research also found that increasing teenage girls’ access to sport could save the NHS £73 million.

This is exactly why we created our Big Sister initiative, which provides free and discounted gym memberships and girls-only sessions to teenage girls in selected leisure centres.

Our ambition is for Big Sister to be available in leisure centres across the UK, ensuring that girls everywhere can access the support, opportunities and environments they need to stay active throughout their teenage years.

Sport transforms lives. We can’t gatekeep it from half the population.

Do you agree? Donate to our charity today to help us break down barriers and keep teenage girls in sport.
