The Handball Federation was founded in 1948, and was part of the
Yugoslav Handball Federation. When
Bosnia and Herzegovina gained independence in 1992, it became the national handball governing body, and later a member of
European Handball Federation (1995) and
International Handball Federation (1996). Handball is the most popular sport in Bosnia and Herzegovina after
football and
basketball. There is a big number of clubs all over the country. Many Bosnian clubs were members of a very strong Yugoslav league, and
RK Borac Banja Luka won the
EHF Champions League in the 1975–76 season. Another team from the country that was famous in European competitions is
