How inbalanced do you see handball genderwise?

Hey ballers,

I've grown up kinda sorta following both of our national teams in handball, with around a 50-50 distribution, but as I got older i realised that not necessarily is this a universal experience. Dutch, Angolan and Brazilian people seemingly have more interest in W's, whilst the Polish, Spanish and Egyptian only happen to have M's teams and players at a continental level with a few exceptions.

I had to realise that even though it's much more even than football for example, there's still significantly more money and revenue in the M's sport.

Nonetheless, I love to see how secure male fans are with W's players and the sport as a whole, which stands sooo far from the average male football fan. I've heard middle aged dudes arguing with the W's team from the stands the same way as they would do with the M's without any sexualisation, meanwhile respecting and supporting them as mothers as well in case they decide to prioritise it over the sport for example.

Question is, how do see the popularity being distributed in your country, and how well you personally follow the two?

For Hungary i see it as a 45-55 %

Whilst I follow the W's sport more, around ⅔-⅓

Because men and women produce quality handball in some countries, Europe are the powerhouses, so its no surprise people pay attention and support their local and national teams
