IKF Pin of Merit awarded to Tilbert La Haye

March 7, 2023/in Organisational news, Populair /by Geke Maat

The IKF Executive Committee has awarded Tilbert La Haye the IKF Pin of Merit for his outstanding service to the IKF.

Tilbert is honoured with this distinction because of his efforts for the IKF general and especially to beach korfball during his time as IKF CEO and as a volunteer. As a volunteer, he played a key role in the organisation of the korfball competition at The World Games 2013 in Cali. After becoming the IKF CEO in 2016, Tilbert made the IKF Office more central in the IKF operations, allowing the IKF to better leverage the efforts of many volunteers. He managed the expanding IKF Competition Calendar and has been critical to the development of beach korfball into a full-fledged korfball discipline.

Tilbert announced his departure at the end of 2022: “After almost 7 years working for the IKF, it is time to discover new grounds and take on a different professional challenge. It has been a huge pleasure to work in a unique sports environment, enjoying the many warm and passionate contacts from all around the world. I would like to make use of this opportunity to thank everyone for the support and pleasant cooperation over the years and would like to wish the IKF and all its partners the best for the future.”

The IKF Executive Committee is grateful for the dedication of Tilbert to the IKF, and understands his ambition to discover new professional grounds. We wish him every success in his future endeavours.

The Portuguese NC Benfica is the 1st IKF KCL Satellite Final champion!

January 29, 2023/in Europe, Korfball News, Populair /by Dani Ezpeleta

The 1st edition of the IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite Final has its champion: the Portuguese Nucleo Corfebol Benfica, after winning the last decisive match of these Satellite Final versus the Catalan CK Vallparadís by only one goal (17-18). An impressive comeback in the last quarter crowned Benfica over Vallparadís after an intense and exciting match, in which the Catalans paid the wear and tear of playing two games almost in a row in the same day.

Tornadoes KC ended in 3rd place at the end of this event after losing against the other 2 teams on Friday and Saturday, by 20-31 vs Benfica and 23-12 vs Vallparadís.

This event took place on 27 and 28 January 2023 in Terrassa, Catalonia, with 3 teams competing for this 1st European clubs trophy of the season.

After 4 previous qualifying events (the R1A & R1B played on September 2022 in Portugal and Poland, the R2 on November in the Czech Republic, and this January’s R3 in Belgium), now it was time for these 1st final. [Press kit booklet here]

The Catalan CK Vallparadís, Tornadoes KC from England, the Portuguese NC Benfica and 1908 SZAC Budapest from Hungary were the teams qualified to play this event. Due to a late withdrawal of the Hungarian champion, and the impossibility for KC Barcelona, as reserve team, to play “out of competition” due to some unfortunate miscommunication in the invitation process (read more), the competition continued with the three qualified teams playing a round-robin, according to the following match schedule:
