ikf logo 2012 small low res

Saturday 29 September 2012 the International Korfball Federation (IKF) announced a modern, brand new logo. This represents our ambition as a modern, international sport. We are committed to spreading our mixed gender sport even further over the world.

At the moment the IKF has 59 member countries spread over Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe and Oceania. We are looking for a controlled further growth. The IKF strives to have 65 members by 2015. Further ambitions are to create greater awareness and become a media oriented sport.

The new logo is in a way a translation of the actual IKF strategy; multi color, mixed gender, modern and challenging.
