The International Ball game Confederation (officially known as CIJB, in French Confédération Internationale du Jeu de Balle), founded on May 13, 1928, is the organization that manages the common activities of the many ball games deriving from Jeu de paume.
Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, England, and Uruguay all have local federations that take part in the CIJB. Quebec[1] and Puerto Rico[2] are the most recent nations represented at this organization, both featuring as participants during the 2023 World Championship.[3]
Since every country has developed minor changes, the CIJB created a variety called International game that shares all the common traits of the direct style (face to face) and another variety for the indirect style, International fronton. The CIJB also manages the Handball International Championships, splitting them into two games: the European Championship and the International Championship.[4]
