Abstract
The aim of this study is to show that the development model for top-level handball in the Congo, inherited from France, is unsuited to the local context and to global, harmonious development, i.e. economic, scientific and technological development. For this, the authors use a model obtained from the combination of two theoretical models by Castejon Paz and Novikov and Maximenko. They analyze the sporting elements through Congo’s handball achievements and results, the sporting situation and, finally, the sporting level. The results show that the transfer of the Western model to a black African country like the Congo is applied outside its logic.
