The Angolan Handball Federation (Federação Angolana de Andebol or simply FAAND) is the governing body of official handball competitions in Angola. FAAND was founded on May 20, 1974, still in the heat of the anti-colonial struggle, when a group of nationalists decided to establish the federation. Every year, the National Handball Day is celebrated on May 20, to mark the day when a handball tournament was organized in Angola for the first time. However, only in 1976 it officially began to operate. Francisco António de Almeida was appointed as chairman. FAB oversees the activities of the 18 provincial handball associations in the country.
On an annual basis, the federation organizes the men's national championship, the women's championship as well as the Angolan Cup and Super Cup, including in the lower age categories. It also oversees the provincial championships organized by the related basketball associations and the participation of national squads in African and worldwide events.
