The Bronze medal match between China and Hong Kong China ended 24-11 in favour of China, who leaded the match from the beginning until the end, despite efforts of HKG that kept playing looking for a comeback.

We witnessed an exhilarating display of talent and sportsmanship as the IKF U21 Asia-Oceania Korfball Championship 2023  in Shah Alam, Malaysia. This prestigious tournament showcased the best young korfball players from across the region, and it was a historic occasion for Malaysia as they hosted their first ever international Korfball event.
 
Nine teams from Asia and Oceania participated in this thrilling competition, making it a true celebration of the sport’s global reach. Athletes from Chinese Taipei, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, and India showcased their skills, determination, and teamwork throughout the championship.
 
The closing ceremony was graced by the presence of esteemed guests, including IKF Asia President Prof. Inglish Huang, Mr. Tim Miller, President of IKF Oceania, and IKF Exco Member, Mr. Jorge Alves.

The scoreline of 27-9 reflected their exceptional skills, teamwork, and strategic prowess. Their achievement marked a successful defense of their title and solidified their position as one of the dominant forces in the world of korfball.
However, it was Malaysia who created history by making it to the final for the first time. Their remarkable journey saw them defeat previous time finalists (2019), China, in a thrilling semifinal match. The Malaysian team’s performance demonstrated their rapid growth, determination, and resilience as they continue to make their mark on the international korfball stage.
China secured the third position in the tournament by defeating Hong Kong China with a commendable score of 24-11. Their consistent performance and expertise in the game were on full display, showcasing their status among the top teams in the region.
