New Korfball Champions League Format Confirmed

/in , , /by

The International Korfball Federation (IKF) and IKF Europe have confirmed a new format for the Korfball Champions League (KCL) – Europe’s top club competition.

“We believe this is a step forward for players, clubs, and organisers.”

The changes follow feedback from national federations and clubs, who were invited to share their thoughts after the first editions of the KCL. The new structure aims to make the competition fairer, easier to follow, and more accessible for everyone involved.  Yves Daelmans, IKF Europe President said:

“While we couldn’t take on every suggestion, the changes cover many of the main concerns we heard and find a good balance between giving teams the chance to compete and keeping travel costs under control,”

A new chapter for European korfball

The KCL began in 2022, replacing both the IKF Europa Cup (established nearly 60 years ago) and the IKF Europa Shield (introduced 20 years ago). It brings the best parts of both into one competition, with the goal of creating a stronger and more connected club scene across Europe.

With the introduction of the new KCL format, the 2025/26 edition will allow up to 24 club teams to take part, increasing to 32 in the 2026/27 season – expanding opportunities for players, coaches, and officials to gain valuable experience on the European stage.

What’s changing for the 2025/26 season?

The new structure features up to four competition tiers: Qualifier, Satellite, Challenger, and the KCL Final, each designed to provide balanced and competitive matchups.

For the 2025/26 season, three tournaments will be played.

KCL Satellite – Lisbon, Portugal

📅 9–13 December 2025 | Participating teams (7):

  • Kocaeli University Sports Club (TUR)
  • Glasgow KC (SCO)
  • SKK Dolphins Prievidza (SVK)
  • Cardiff Raptors (WAL)
  • Nomads Korfball Club (ENG)
  • CK Castellbisbal (CAT)
  • Şeker 06 Sports Club (TUR)

KCL Challenger – Kemer, Türkiye

  • Guardians SC (HUN)
  • Bristol Thunder KC (ENG)
  • Yıldız Teknik Üniversiteliler Sports Club (TUR)

  • Núcleo Corfebol de Benfica (POR)
  • Schweriner KC (GER)
  • TuS Schildgen (GER)
  • Vosime.cz Prostějov (CZE)
  • Korfbal Klub Brno (CZE)

The Qualifier event will make its debut in the 2026/27 season, as part of the continued expansion of the KCL structure.

Each tournament will feature eight teams, with promotion and relegation between seasons. Teams will participate in a single event per season – reducing travel demands while maintaining high-quality competition.

  • Four tournaments: Qualifier, Satellite, Challenger, and KCL Final
  • 8 teams per tournament, with promotion and relegation between seasons.
  • Teams will only participate in a single event per season – no need to travel to multiple tournaments
  • Full-length matches played over five days (Tuesday to Saturday)
  • One match per team per day
  • No penalties for clubs that withdrew in 2024/25 – a clean slate

Each event will include three group-stage games, followed by semi-finals and finals. The schedule gives players time to rest and allows for social time and easier travel.

Live Draws coming soon

The Live Draws for all Challenger and Final will take place on Wednesday, 19 November 2025. The results will determine the group-stage fixtures for each event and set the stage for another exciting season of European korfball.

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.

/in , , /by

[Daily update] The 2nd Round of the IKF Korfball Champions League is taking place this week in the Polish city of Twardogóra. From 26 to 30 November 2024, 10 teams divided into 2 groups will compete to end in the 1st position of their group, and secure a place in the big IKF KCL Final 2024-25. The teams finalizing in positions 2 and 3 will automatically qualify to play the KCL Challenger Final next January in Kocaeli, Türkiye.

The winners of the IKF Korfball Champions League Round 1 A & B proceeded to this IKF Korfball Champions League Round 2 after winning their respective qualifiers in September.

More information about the IKF KCL 2024-25 here.

NOTE: Several experiments on the Rules of Korfball are being tested in this event. The main ones: Restarts work like a stop due to an injury, and the time clock and shot clock start when the other player receives the ball, as well as on the throw-off, out-ball, Free-pass, etc.

UPDATE 30/11/2024 – Day 5 is over, and the teams qualified for the KCL Final and Challenger Final are known. The German team of Tus Schildgen and Bec KC from England will play the big KCL Final together with the Dutch, Belgian, Portuguese and German champions.  What a great final event ahead!

Brno KK and Vosime.cz Korfbal Prostejov from Czechia, and the Catalans  KC Barcelona and CK Vallparadís will play the Challenger Final from 17 to 19 January in Kocaeli, Türkiye. Congratulations to all qualified teams!

UPDATE 29/11/2024 – Day 4 brought us two decisive matches in Pool A. In Pool B,  TuS Schildgen was already qualified as #1 to play the KCL Champions League final. In Pool B, both KC Barcelona and Vosemi Prostejov have qualified for the Challenger Final in Kocaeli, TUR. On Saturday, these two teams meet and will decide who will be #2 and #3 in Pool B.

In Pool A, the decisive match for #1 will be between KK Brno and Bec KC. Only a straight win over Bec KC will lead for KK Brno to qualification for the KCL Final (a win after Golden Goal is not enough). The match between Vallparadis and Castelbisbal will determine who will finish in 3rd place: Vallparadis, after a straight win (ending at 6 match points), or a win after Golden Goal (Vallparadis will then equalize with Lisboa at 5 points, but Vallparadis will qualify as 3rd and for the Challenger final based on the Lisboa-Vallparadis match (Vallparadis won that match). If Castelbisball manages to win the last match (straight or after golden goal) then CK de Lisboa will end 3rd.
