IKF President Jan Fransoo was in Turkey this week for informal meetings with the Turkish Development Sports Federation, the umbrella organization responsible for the development of sports in Turkey, including korfball.
He met with the leadership team of Turkish korfball, lead by TDSF President Hassan Özturk, to discuss the development within Turkey and the international participation of Turkish teams, following the late withdrawal of Turkey from last year’s IKF European Korfball Championship in the Netherlands. Recognizing the complex governance situation, a common vision was developed towards the participation of Turkish representative teams in international events.
Yuksel Abdikoglu, TDSF President Özturk, IKF President Fransoo, Lale Güler at the informal meeting in Ankara
Development of korfball in Turkey has been very strong, with dozens of universities now having a korfball team, and the Turkish club championship having been well-established. The TDSF is now taking next steps, which include the development of the club championship into a more extended league, and – in collaboration with the Turkish School Sports Federation – organizing the first high school korfball championship in the country, where about 60 teams are expected to take part. In the common vision between IKF and TDSF, the strong national development should also further strengthen the international participation and results of Turkish representative teams.

Day 3 Final reviews
Brno – Marmara 21-11 (16-5)
Two teams whose national federations will need to participate in the first round with the reigning champions competed for the places 7/8 on the final day.
With an additional two minutes per quarter higher scores were possible. And that was exactly what happend on the Czech side in the first half. Good focus in combination with less pressure by defenders made that the match was played long before the final whistle.
It was an occasion for some reserve players to show their skills.
Two teams that had hoped for more struggled for the fifth place. But especially in Q1 the battle was situated on the defending side with a low score as a result (2-3)
Szac for a short period of time dominated and created a small advance. Time for Benfica to raise the level and to have it all square at half time.
Same scenario in the second half. Much enthusiasm, no success. This game had to be decided by a golden goal. And so it did!
After many minutes it was Joana Faria that scored the winning goal.
It has been a while since we had a clash between the traditional champion teams from England and Germany like it was always the case in the early days of the Europa Cup outdoor.
The English played one of the best tournaments and also now they were master of the game. Pegasus attacks were too transparant and the few shots, even from close by, did not find their way into the korf.
It must be said that at that time the scoring percentage of Trojans was extremely high. With 5 ahead at half time, Germans would still have hope.
Same scenario in the second half, Trojans clearly the better team and Germans trying to reverse the setting.
As a conclusion we may state that this is a well earned bronze for Trojans and that Pegasus earns respect for the efforts that were made to give a strong opponent a hard time.
The question was how long the Belgian champion would be able to keep the margin as close as possible. And, it must be said, in the first quarter this went quite well until dominance in rebound from the Dutch and uncontrolled personal defence on the other side resulted in 9-4
In a pure mathematical perspective the second quarter saw nearly a winner with an accurate Top in the beginning and a better scoring Boeckenberg towards the end.
What is always a problem when playing Dutch teams, is difference in length giving attacks oceans of time to prepare shots and to give confidence to shooters. Boeckenberg did what was possible but was insufficient to create surprises (21-12 after Q3)
Match over and moments for other players to have a taste of topkorfball.
Congratulations to the KBKB for a perfect tournament. A better final would have been a beautiful present but Top was too outstanding.
