Ice korfball happening in Hungary

The Hungarian Korfball  Association will organize a fun event on 18 January 2015 in the afternoon on the Ice Rink of Budapest, at Heroes’ Square, where korfball will be played on ice, probably for the first time in the history of the sport.

Of course, they will play with skates on.

And if everything goes well, they will play a ice korfball match against a Hungarian youth Ice Hockey national team.

The goal with this event is to

  1. promote korfball to even more people
  2. try something new, think out-of-the-box
  3. have a lot of fun

and

  1. put korfball on the program of the Winter Olympics.

Worldkorfball.org problem in IKF EKC solved

We are sorry we had to inform you earlier today the worldkorfball.org website was not up to date. We had a synchronisation problem. The technicians were working to solve this issue. In the late afternoon they managed to restore the greatest part of the connection between PC’s and database behind the website. As soon as the connection was up the database was brought up to date. All today’s matches are visible for you.

The live web casting is working properly on the ikfchannel on You Tube.
