"When India plays, India blooms."
The Uttar Pradesh Handball Association is the official governing body for the sport across the state — fostering grassroots talent, world-class athletes, and the spirit of the game in every district.
FIVE DECADES OF INDIAN HANDBALL.
The Uttar Pradesh Handball Association is the recognised state body for the sport — the bridge between local talent and the national stage.
From the courts of Lucknow's K.D. Singh Babu Stadium to inter-zonal tournaments across India, UPHA's mandate is plainspoken: develop players, certify coaches and referees, host competitions, and represent Uttar Pradesh wherever the game is played. Our work spans 75 affiliated districts, thousands of registered athletes, and a growing roster of tournaments that feed directly into the national pipeline.
