The Federação Angolana de Andebol (Angolan Handball Federation) 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. On May 20, every year, the National Handball Day is celebrated, to mark the day that for the first time, a handball tournament was organized in Angola. However, only in 1976 it officially began to operate. Mr. 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.
