Is beach handball popular? I always thought beach soccer would have been more likely.

Yes, and no. It’s not a well watched/followed sport. But it has been incredibly incredibly popular at the World Games, World Beach Games, and Youth Olympics Games. I think all beach sports should remain in the World Beach Games (including Beach Volleyball), and we could have those every two years between the Olympics to wet the appetite of international sports fans.

If the Taliban capture Kabul and therefore the Government of Afghanistan will they be barred from the Games as they were last time they were in control of the country?
