Hungary makes history winning the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Asia) 2026 in Bangkok

An additional extraordinary beach event has concluded in Bangkok! Ten teams from three different continents were taking part in this year’s IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Asia) 2026. The capital of Thailand was hosting this event from 2 to 3 May, which ended with Hungary beating Chinese Taipei by 9-8 in another historical, tight, and exciting final.

Hungary has achieved its first gold medal in beach korfball, a discipline in which it has performed admirably in recent years. This includes the bronze medal it won at the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Europe) 2025 and the 4th place at The World Games in Chengdu last year.

The podium was completed by Chinese Taipei (silver) and Czechia, who won against Australia in the bronze medal match.

Congratulations to the organisers and all participants for this fantastic and thrilling event. See you at the next BKWC!
