IKF Europa Cup 2022 – Cancelled

/0 Comments/in , /by

UPDATE 16/03/2022 – The IKF EXCO has decided to cancel the IKF Europa Cup 2022. In January, the IKF EXCO decided to look for alternative dates for the IKF Europa Cup, due to the corona developments at that time. An alternative date was found, but it was not possible to organise the event on those dates at the original location. Despite the best efforts of the participants and the IKF to find an alternative host, we have not been able to secure enough teams for a viable event.

IKF launches Korfball Champions League in Europe

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Executive Committee of the IKF has decided to launch a new competition format for the club competitions in Europe. The format entails a series of events eventually culminating in a Final 4 event for the four strongest European clubs, and Challenger and Satellite Finals for lower-ranked clubs.

In the initial setup, two clubs can take part from the strongest 7 national leagues in Europe (Belgium, Catalonia, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Netherlands, and Portugal), and 1 club from the other national leagues in Europe. Eventual quota for participation are determined based on a coefficient system that the IKF will present later this Spring.

The new competition will be branded as the IKF Europe Korfball Champions League (KCL). It is the joint successor of the IKF Europa Cup and the IKF Europa Shield. The IKF Europa Cup has existed for almost 60 years and was open to the champions of all European leagues. The IKF Europa Shield, that has existed for about 20 years was open to the vice-champions of a selected set of European leagues.

The new format will allow for more matches between clubs of similar strength, doing justice to the growing club competitions in Europe. The KCL will consist of three successive qualification rounds, with stronger clubs entering in later phases of the competition, and three Final4 competitions: The Korfball Champions League Finals, The KCL Challenger Finals, and the KCL Satellite Finals.

The Exco believes this will offer more playing opportunities for club teams across Europe at similar levels of strength. Another feature of the concept is that all rounds of the competition will be played in a weekend format. Events with 8 teams will play shorter matches similar to the current Europa Shield format, while the events with four teams will play two full length matches per team (semifinal and final) in a weekend.

The various IKF Committees and Working Groups are currently working out details for the setup, and the event will launch in the Fall of 2022, with the first KCL Round 1 competitions being played. The first KCL finals will be played in the Spring of 2023.

IKF Europa Cup First Round 2022

/0 Comments/in , /by

The IKF, in close collaboration with the Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the participants of the IKF Europa Cup First Round, has taken the painful decision to cancel the event. The current Covid-19 situation in Europe with the increasing number of positive cases and the uncertainty about the effects of the new omicron variant on possible extra (travel) restrictions has been the key of this decision. The IKF will now appoint the final participant of the IKF Europa Cup Final Round based on the IKF Europa Cup results over the last 5 years.

The IKF would like to thank the Polish Korfball Federation and specially the LOC for all their efforts to prepare the hosting of this event.

The IKF is happy to announce the hosts and dates of the 2022 edition of the IKF Europa Cup (First Round and Final Round) and the IKF Europa Shield.

 

 

IKF Europa Cup 2022

The IKF Europa Cup traditionally features exiting matches between the club champions of the European national korfball leagues. The IKF Europa Cup First Round normally takes place in September, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic this year’s edition will be held from 7-9 January 2022 in Kielczow, Poland. The host will be Polish Korfball Association. Eight National champions will compete for one spot in the IKF Europa Cup 2022 Final Round.

 

The IKF Europa Cup Final Round will be played from 10-12 February in Papendrecht, The Netherlands. The Royal Dutch Korfball Association will host this event. The top-7 countries of last Europa Cup Final Round in Hungary (2019) have their champion directly qualified for this event and will be joined later by the winner of the ECup First Round.

 

In the case there is no appointed champion due to the cancellation of the league, the National Federation can nominate a participant for this event based on sportive and objective criteria as defined by the National Federation.

 

 

IKF Europa Shield 2022

The runners-up of the biggest competitions* in Europe have been invited to compete in the IKF Europa Shield 2022. The Czech Korfball Association will welcome the participants to the city of Prostějov from 28-30 January.
