Van den Bos serves as Dutch national coach since 1999; he is 14 years in his job. He was the first full time bondscoach in The Neterlands. He has an enormous list of championship results: 3 times IKF World Korfball Champion, 3 times IKF European Korfball Champion and so far 3 times gold in the World Games.

In a contested election, Italian Mr Raffaelle Chiulli, President of UIM (Powerboating) was elected as new President, beating the other candidate, Mr Carlos Freitag (President of WDSF – Dance Sport). After being elected, Chiulli proposed to the General Meeting that Jan Fransoo be promoted to President Emeritus. As such, he will keep a (non-voting) seat on the ARISF Council.
Fransoo was praised extensively for the work he had done for ARISF over the past years, both by many of the International Federations, but also by the IOC Sports Director Mr Christophe Dubi and the WADA Executive Director David Howman.
Fransoo announced late last year that he would be stepping down at the end of his term, wanting to spend more of his sport administration time on development of korfball and the IKF.
