The African Handball Confederation (acronym CAHB, referring to French: Confédération Africaine de Handball) is the administrative and controlling body for African team handball. Founded on 15 January 1973 after the 2nd All-Africa Games in Lagos (Nigeria), it represents the national handball associations of Africa under the supervision of the International Handball Federation (IHF).

The CAHB headquarters is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Its current president is Dr. Mansourou Aremou from Benin. The motto of the organisation is "Let's build African Handball together."

History

[edit]

The African Handball Confederation was the first such continental confederation and is tied to 53 national federations. It is also the continental confederation with the highest number of members within the IHF.

The founding congress took place on January 15, 1973, in Lagos, Nigeria, during the 2nd All-Africa Games. It was attended by Alberto de San Roman (Spain), the vice-president of the International Handball Federation. The committee, which had done all the preparation work, was awarded with executive functions within the confederation. Dr. Salem Nabil became president, and Babacar Fall became secretary general.

Its headquarters is in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
