Korfball Champions League 2025: The Launch Of A New Season

The IKF is delighted to announce the Korfball Champions League (KCL) 2025, set to commence in September with vigour and an exciting lineup of matches. This season brings more competitive opportunities for clubs across Europe, continuing to build on the league’s success in promoting high-level korfball.

Registrations are now closed, and the teams are confirmed. We have 25 participants from 13 different countries, showcasing the widespread appeal and European presence of korfball.

Update 30/8/2024: The withdrawal of Marcovia Marki from Poland leaves only 5 teams competing in the Round 1-A.

In an encouraging move, the IKF Council has decided to welcome back teams that had to withdraw last year. Exceptionally, due to internal changes and open vacancies, these teams are being allowed to participate again. They will start at the bottom of the list as they do not have a ranking from the previous year.

There was the need of a slight adjustment in the setting of the teams this season. Unfortunately, Trojans did not have availability to participate. CAT3 Castellbisbal has been elevated to Round 2 following this non-registration. This decision reflects the league’s dynamic structure, ensuring that deserving teams can seize the opportunity to compete at higher levels.

The KCL offers a fantastic platform for national clubs to gain invaluable international experience and participate in highly competitive matches. With three distinct trophies up for dispute—the KCL, the Challenger, and the Satellite—every team has a genuine chance to achieve international success and recognition.

The KCL 2025 is more than just a competition; it’s a driver of improvement at all levels. The effort and dedication shown by participating teams have been remarkable, and the quality of play continues to rise. The matches are increasingly competitive, covering a broader spectrum of teams and fostering a higher standard of korfball across Europe.

This season, we celebrate the collective effort of clubs, officials, and volunteers who make the KCL possible. As we look forward to another exciting year of European korfball, we remain committed to providing an exceptional platform for the sport to thrive and for teams to shine on the international stage.
