[Daily updates] The IKF All-Africa Korfball Championship (North) 2026 gets underway from 30 September to 3 October in Nador, Morocco. Hosted by the Moroccan Association for Korfball, the tournament will take place at Salle couverte Al Arouit, Salle couvert, Al-Aroui.
Morocco and Ivory Coast are the participating teams in this northern African continental championship after the late withdrawal of Cameroon, and they will be playing a best-of-three competition. Following the successful conclusion of the South and U19 events in Blantyre earlier this month, attention now turns north as these two nations compete for the regional title.
Winning the IKF All-Africa Korfball Championship North 2026 carries major significance: the champion qualifies for the IKF World Korfball Championship 2027 , which will be played in the Netherlands from 15 to 24 October 2027. Zimbabwe has already secured its place as African representative by winning the IKF All-Africa Korfball Championship South 2026 in Blantyre. The other finalists of both senior events enter the reserve list of teams for the IKF WKC 2027.
