IN 44 YEARS… SPORT The Interamnia World Cup is one of the most important and long-lasting International tournaments. Throughout the years, it has gained the spot light in promoting sports and, specifically, handball. Moreover, it has earned national attention, so much that in 2002 it was defined by the International Handball Federation (IHF) as “the most important youth handball tournament in the world”. Established in 1973, the tournament has since been taking place during the first week of July. In these 44 years, it has become one of the chief initiatives in the world, by offering the opportunity for the youth clubs to start competing on an international level. It also gives opportunities for the major teams to train for the main championships.
