KC Barcelona: New IKF Europa Shield 2016 Champion

Congratulations to Korfbal Club Barcelona from Catalonia, the new IKF Europa Shield 2016 champion. After an excellent tournament with 5 victories in 5 games, they are the new champions after beating in the final 14-13 the 2015 winners English Bec Korfball Club.

This is the 1st time they achieve this trophy, after only two previous international participations. The 1st was two years ago in IKF Europa Cup 2014  and the 2nd last year in IKF Europa Shield 2015.

An impressive and succesful course that ended with this well deserved 1st place in IKF ES 2016. Congratulations!
