The International Korfball Federation is pleased to take notice of the agreement between the two korfball factions in Indonesia to unite in a single Indonesian National Korfball Association PKSI. The IKF President has subsequently recognized Ms Lisa Roedhianita as President of the PKSI and revoked any earlier decisions on the matter. It also implies that from now on, the PKSI can again represent Indonesia under the leadership of President Roedhianita.
The agreement is important, since korfball is a rapidly growing sport in Indonesia, and has received full recognition by the National Olympic Committee KOI and the National Sports Council KONI. As part of this agreement, korfball has been included in the Indonesian national games, in which all provinces of the country compete in a large number of sports.
