Beach Korfball Confirmed as Official Discipline for The World Games 2029 in Karlsruhe

/in , , /by

The International Korfball Federation is delighted to celebrate a major milestone for our sport: Beach Korfball has been confirmed as an official sports discipline at The World Games 2029 in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Following its highly successful historic debut at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China, Beach Korfball will return alongside Indoor Korfball on the programme for the 13th edition of the event, scheduled from 19 to 29 July 2029.

The Karlsruhe 2029 Sports Programme, ratified on 25 April 2026, lists Korfball with both Beach and Indoor disciplines among approximately 35 sports. Around 4,000 world-class athletes from more than 110 countries and regions are expected to compete.

Karlsruhe holds special significance for The World Games. The south-western German city will become the first to host the multi-sport event twice, having previously organised the 3rd edition in 1989. Germany also hosted the 2005 edition in Duisburg.

Beach Korfball made its World Games debut in August 2025 at the Xinglong Lake Beach Arena in Chengdu. The dynamic, mixed-gender, four-a-side format — played on sand with short, high-intensity matches — captivated audiences with fast-paced action, spectacular long-range scores, and dramatic finishes. Chinese Taipei claimed the first-ever Beach Korfball World Games gold medal in a thrilling final against the Netherlands, sealed by a last-second long-range goal. Belgium took bronze. The event marked a proud moment for the global korfball community, highlighting the rapid growth and broad appeal of the beach variant since its development.

Korfball has been a continuous presence at The World Games since 1985. The confirmation of both Indoor and Beach disciplines for 2029 underscores the sport’s enduring place in the multi-sport programme and the IWGA’s recognition of Beach Korfball’s potential to engage new audiences.

This dual presence in Karlsruhe represents an outstanding opportunity to further raise the profile of korfball worldwide, inspire the next generation of players, and showcase the unique values of our mixed, team-oriented game on both sand and court.

The IKF congratulates all players, coaches, officials, national federations, and partners who contributed to the successful 2025 debut and looks forward with great anticipation to another outstanding chapter for Beach Korfball in 2029.

We invite the entire korfball family to celebrate this achievement and begin the journey toward Karlsruhe. Further details on qualification, formats, and schedules will be shared in due course.

Together, we continue to grow the game — on the court and on the beach.

Netherlands crowned IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Europe) 2026 champions after dramatic shoot-out victory

/in , /by

The Netherlands are the new IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Europe) champions after edging Belgium in a thrilling final on the sands of Costa de Caparica, Portugal.

An entertaining championship came to a fitting conclusion as two of the sport’s leading beach nations produced a final worthy of the occasion. With the match locked at one set apiece after normal play, the destination of the gold medals was ultimately decided in a dramatic shoot-out, where the Netherlands held their nerve to lift the trophy.

Belgium struck first in a closely contested opening set. The teams could not be separated after regular time, with the scoreboard reading 4-4, forcing two minutes of extra time under the Golden Goal rule. Belgium found the decisive breakthrough, scoring first in extra time to take the opening set.

Needing a response, the Dutch produced one in emphatic fashion. They dominated the second set from the opening whistle, keeping Belgium scoreless while racing to a 4-0 victory to level the final at one set each and send the championship to a shoot-out.

The Netherlands took the first attempt and converted confidently before Belgium responded to make it 1-1. The Dutch then scored their second attempt to move ahead once more, leaving Belgium needing to score to keep their hopes alive. The Belgian effort missed its target, sparking celebrations as the Netherlands secured the European beach world title.

Players, staff and supporters rushed onto the sand to celebrate a memorable victory after one of the most dramatic finals in recent years.

Earlier in the day, Czechia claimed the bronze medal with a straight-sets victory over Poland. A hard-fought first set finished 5-4 before Czechia completed the job by taking the second set 3-2 to secure third place on the podium.

Türkiye finished fifth after overcoming hosts Portugal, while France rounded off their campaign with victory over Hungary to claim seventh place.

The two-day tournament in Costa de Caparica once again showcased the speed, skill and excitement of international beach korfball, with thousands of fans following the action both on the beach and through the live broadcasts. Fifteen national teams competed for European honours, delivering another outstanding edition of the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Europe).

Belgium Claims Victory at IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Africa) 2026 in Egypt

/in , , /by

The sun-soaked beaches of Hurghada played host to an exhilarating edition of the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Africa) 2026, which concluded yesterday on July 4. Teams from across continents brought high-energy mixed-gender beach korfball action to Egypt’s Red Sea coast, showcasing the sport’s unique blend of skill, strategy, and athleticism in the sand.

Belgium emerged as champions, defeating strong competition in what proved to be a thrilling tournament. Hong Kong China secured a well-deserved silver medal in second place, while Hungary claimed bronze in third, marking impressive performances for all podium teams.

The event featured intense pool matches and knockout stages under not always ideal beach conditions due to the wind.

The Belgian squad demonstrated exceptional teamwork, defensive solidity, and attacking flair throughout the competition. They faced tough challenges, including a Day 1 encounter against Hungary that ended in a 1-1 draw resolved by a shoot-out in Belgium’s favor. Belgium also powered past Zimbabwe with a convincing 2-0 victory (10-2 / 9-1). Their consistent excellence culminated in a strong final showing to claim the title.

Hong Kong China delivered standout performances, advancing through competitive matches and proving their growing prowess in beach korfball. Reaching the final highlighted their tactical adaptability and endurance in the demanding beach format.

Hungary impressed with resilient play, building on recent momentum from other beach events. Their third-place finish adds to their rising profile in international korfball.

This first official IKF tournament in Egypt emphasized korfball’s core values as a mixed-gender sport, with teams combining speed, precision shooting, and tactical passing on the sand. Spectators and participants enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere in Hurghada, supported by the Egyptian hosts.

Korfball Included in the Sports Programme for The World Games 2029

/in , /by

The 13th edition of The World Games will take place in July 2029 in Karlsruhe, Germany. This is the second time the city—on the banks of the Rhine in Baden-Württemberg—will host The World Games and the third time overall that the event returns to Germany.

Korfball returns, continuing a legacy of thirty years of participation, and will be present at The World Games for the 12th consecutive time.

The 2029 edition of The World Games will welcome around 4,000 world-class athletes from more than 110 countries and regions to compete in their respective disciplines.

Following an announcement of the Sports Programme by the International World Games Association (IWGA) today, 25th March, Korfball players from around the globe will be among them. Which specific disciplines to be included will be decided at a later date.

The World Games is hugely significant for Korfball and the IKF welcomes, with pleasure, the continued support of our friends and colleagues at the International World Games Association.

We are delighted that this long history of collaboration continues today with Jan Fransoo’s election as IWGA Vice President. Having served two terms on the Executive Committee, Jan’s appointment to Vice President is a proud moment for the IKF and a testament to our ongoing work together,

Through participation in The World Games 2029 the International Korfball Federation plans to continue our strategy of increased global awareness and participation in Korfball. We also look forward to many more beautiful matches and moments of skill as the world’s best teams face off against each other for those rare World Games medals.

2025 Editions

In 2025, in Chengdu, China, an extremely strong team from the Netherlands took home the Korfball Gold in 2025 following victory over their long-term rivals from Belgium. On the beach in Chengdu, in an incredible climax Chinese Taipei took home the first ever Gold Medal in Beach Korfball following an incredible long-range buzzer beater to break Dutch hearts.

Who will take home the medals from Karlsruhe, 2029? We can’t wait to find out!
