The Netherlands secure gold at the IKF U21 European Korfball Championship 2025

/in , /by

Herentals, Belgium – 12 July 2025 | The Netherlands have won gold at the IKF U21 European Korfball Championship 2025, finishing the tournament with a dominant performance and a convincing 28-14 win over host nation Belgium in the final.

The final took place on Saturday in Herentals, Belgium, with a strong turnout of Belgian supporters who filled the arena with energy and backed their team from the first whistle to the last. Belgium gave everything they had, but the Netherlands were simply a class above.

The Dutch team controlled possession, converted their chances with precision, and dictated the pace from start to finish. Jorien Jordaan (NED) top scored in the final scoring 8 goals, capping off a standout tournament

It was a dominant display – not just in the final, but throughout the tournament – and the Netherlands proved once again why they’re the strongest U21 side in Europe.

In the bronze medal match, Catalonia and Türkiye faced off in a tight and competitive battle. After four intense quarters, Catalonia managed to pull ahead in the final minutes, claiming third place and a spot on the podium.

This year’s championship brought together eight teams from across Europe for six days of fast-paced matches and exciting play. Fans in the arena and watching our live stream got a glimpse of korfball’s future – young players with serious potential, sharp team play, and plenty of moments to remember.

The IKF thanks the Royal Belgian Korfball Federation (KBKB), the city of Herentals, and all the volunteers, officials, and fans who helped make the event a success.

Congratulations to the Netherlands – IKF U21 European Champions 2025!

PKC/Vertom wins the IKF Korfball Champions League 2025

/in , /by

Alfons Janssens Cup returns with PKC/Vertom to the Netherlands

PKC/Vertom have clinched their 15th European Championship title, also known as the Alfons Janssens Cup, defeating Belgian champions Borgerhout/Groen-Wit 15-28 in the final held at the Casal Vistoso Sports Complex in Lisbon, Portugal. This victory marks their third consecutive Champions League title.

The club from Papendrecht, Netherlands, has now won the last three editions of the Champions League (successor to the European Cup). This victory continues a fantastic start to February for the reigning Dutch champions. They recently secured a narrow 18-17 victory against HKC/Creon Kozijnen in the Kenonz Korfball League, a win that coincided with the club’s 90th anniversary celebrations and their current 5th place ranking.

Bronze medal match

In a thrilling encounter, Bec Korfball Club from England secured the bronze medal with a hard-fought 20-19 victory over Nucleo Corfebol Benfica from Portugal. Bec held the lead throughout much of the match, taking a narrow 7-6 advantage at the end of the first period, and extending it to 12-6 by halftime. They maintained their edge into the third period, leading 15-11. However, Benfica mounted a stunning comeback between the 31st and 37th minutes, scoring five unanswered goals to close the gap to just one point (18-17). This set up a pulsating finale with only three minutes remaining.

The closing moments of the game saw both teams trading goals, keeping the tension high. Ultimately, it was Bec who held their nerve and emerged victorious, securing their first European medal in modern times. For Bec, Rachel Turner and Joe Bedford shone brightly, sharing the top goal-scoring accolade with five goals apiece.

5th/6th match

The battle for 5th place in the IKF Korfball Champions League featured two German clubs, SG Pegasus and TuS Schildgen, competing in a two-legged playoff. The first match, played on Friday night, saw TuS Schildgen take a commanding lead with a 21-14 victory over SG Pegasus. In the second leg on Saturday, TuS Schildgen further solidified their position with an 18-11 win. 

Over the two matches, TuS Schildgen demonstrated a strong and consistent performance, ultimately securing 5th place in the tournament. TuS Schildgen’s players, including standout performances from Thomas Freund (7 goals), Simon Wolters (6 goals), and Jan Robert Heming (6 goals), dominated the goal-scoring charts. 

Our thanks…

The IKF Korfball Champions League Final was a success thanks to the hard work and dedication of the organisers, volunteers, the Portuguese Korfball Federation, and IKF officials. Without their contributions this event would not have been possible.
