Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, England, and Uruguay all have local federations that take part in the CIJB.

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.[1]
