Reforms to build up a strong National Federation started in India

/0 Comments/in /by

The Indian Korfball Committee (IKC) in coordination with the International Korfball Federation (IKF) organized a meeting with various State Korfball Associations on May 04, 2019 in New Delhi.

 

The meeting was attended by key state korfball associations who are willing to develop korfball in India with a true spirit of sport and in line with the requirements that the IKF has imposed as conditions for lifting the current suspension of the Korfball Federation of India as a Member of the IKF. Few of the invited associations could not come due to various reasons.

 

There is a “Time-bound” action plan initiated by the International Korfball Federation (IKF) and the Indian Korfball Committee (IKC) to initiate reforms in India and rebuild the korfball sport with a strong base of State Korfball Associations. There will be one more meeting along a National Championship in the month of June, 2019. This will be the final meeting for all the state korfball associations to make up their mind and cooperate with the International Korfball Federation (IKF) and the Indian Korfball Committee (IKC) to help to develop korfball.
