IKF Korfball Champions League Round 1 Recap

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The first two event of the IKF Korfball Champions League 2023-24 have been played last weekend. 14 teams competed for 2 places in the IKF Korfball Champions League Round 2, and 4 places in the IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite Final.

 

IKF Korfball Champions League Round 1-A

The IKF KCL R1A took place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 21-23 September. 6 teams competed against each other in a round-robin format. CK Vallparadís from Catalonia and Schweriner KC from Germany won their first three matches and faced each other on the final day, in what was the expected deciding match for the ranking of positions one and two. Schweriner took a four-goal lead, but Vallparadis turned things around and took over the initiative in Q3 with a three-goal gap. Schweriner came close, but Vallparadis secured their win by a very close 15-14 end score. The team ended the tournament with a win over CCCD Carnaxide and thus qualified for the IKF Korfball Champions League Round 2. Schweriner KC and CCCD Carnaxide qualified for the IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite Final by claiming the second and third place. Yildiz Teknik Üniversitelilier became fourth, SJBAGB fifth, and 1908 SZAC Budapest completed the ranking on sixth place.

 

IKF Korfball Champions League Round 1-B

The IKF KCL R1B took place in Cardiff, Wales, from 22-24 September. 8 teams were present, but Koceali University Sport Club participated out of competition. Unfortunately, they could not get a team complete due to VISA issues. The team’s athletes that travelled to Cardiff were complemented by local players. The teams competed in two groups, advancing from there to the semi-finals, finals and other ranking matches. Group A winner Clube de Corfebol de Oeiras defeated Cardiff City & Met KC (number 2 group B) in the semi-final, where it faced FJEP Bonson. Bonson defeated SKK Prievidza Dolphins (winner Group B) in their semi-final. Clube Corfebol de Oeiras proved to be the strongest competitor in the event, by winning the final 23 to 4. The match for third place decided which team would claim the last qualification spot for the IKF KCL Satellite Final. Cardiff City & Met KC and the Dolphins were a great match for each other, but eventually, the Slovak champion claimed the victory. The ranking was completed by Tornadoes Korfball Club Academy (fifth place), Glasgow Korfball Club (sixth place), and Newport Centurions KC (seventh place).

The IKF Korfball Champions League Round 2 will be organised in Marki, Poland, from 28 November – 2 December. The IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite Final will be organised 18-20 January in Antalya, Türkiye.

LIVE DRAW

The late withdrawal of Kékvölgy SE from Hungary led to a change in the original tournament set-up for the IKF KCL R1A. The teams will play each other in a round-robin format, but the qualification criteria for the successive KCL events remain unchanged.

The live draw for the IKF Korfball Champions League Round 1 took place on July 6. Through this draw, the teams were divided into the two Round 1s, in Cardiff and Lisbon.

Teams were allocated to the events by drawing in pairs. These pairs were based on the IKF Korfball Champions League ranking, which is based on the previous season. Two teams were already placed; Welsh champion Cardiff City Korfball Club and the runner-up Newport Centurions. The Welsh Korfball Association is hosting the event in collaboration with Cardiff City Korfball Club, which was therefore placed in the IKF KCL Round 1-B. To get to 8 teams, Newport Centurions were invited as extra participant and was therefore also placed in the IKF KCL R1B. The two qualified Portuguese teams are both not hosting the event, and are therefore included in the draw instead of having a fixed place in Lisbon.

   

IKF Korfball Champions League 2023-24, refined set-up & qualified teams

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The IKF has launched the refined set-up of the IKF Korfball Champions League. After the inaugural season the IKF EXCO has evaluated the event(s), taking into consideration the feedback of the participating clubs, the national federations, the IKF Officials and the IKF Committees.

The new set-up honours the main goals of the IKF KCL, while adjusting the set-up in such a way that the main feedback point are incorporated. The main goals that form the fundament for the IKF KCL are:

  • Have more competitive matches between clubs of similar level from different countries across the entire European club competitions;
  • Improve quality at all levels;
  • Have a feasible path to winning a title across multiple levels;
  • Have competitive finals (KCL, Challenger, Satellite);
  • Gradually increase the number of club teams from a country that can get European competition at their level.

The main points of feedback from the teams, national federations, officials and IKF Committees were:

  • Lower the costs for teams;
  • Reduce travel for participants – fewer events for individual clubs;
  • Desire to have more certainty around location and timing of events – longer preparation time;
  • Play one match per day and full games;
  • Have fewer events and longer, if necessary;
  • Have fewer matches against the same opponents from previous rounds;
  • Have a ‘more international’ feel in the KCL Final;
  • Have more international experience and enhance social contacts.

These findings led to the following set-up of the IKF Korfball Champions League:

National federations receive the invitation letter and registration form for their qualified teams as soon as possible. The locations of the IKF KCL R1A will be in Lisbon, Portugal, and the R1B in Cardiff, Wales. The location for the IKF KCL R2 is Marki, Poland, and the location for the IKF KCL Satellite Final is Antalya, Türkiye.

Update 17/6/2023: Qualified teams & host cities confirmed so far

Update 6/7/2023 – Live draw (to decide which teams will play the KCL R1-A and R1-B):

The Portuguese NC Benfica is the 1st IKF KCL Satellite Final champion!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The 1st edition of the IKF Korfball Champions League Satellite Final has its champion: the Portuguese Nucleo Corfebol Benfica, after winning the last decisive match of these Satellite Final versus the Catalan CK Vallparadís by only one goal (17-18). An impressive comeback in the last quarter crowned Benfica over Vallparadís after an intense and exciting match, in which the Catalans paid the wear and tear of playing two games almost in a row in the same day.

Tornadoes KC ended in 3rd place at the end of this event after losing against the other 2 teams on Friday and Saturday, by 20-31 vs Benfica and 23-12 vs Vallparadís.

This event took place on 27 and 28 January 2023 in Terrassa, Catalonia, with 3 teams competing for this 1st European clubs trophy of the season.

After 4 previous qualifying events (the R1A & R1B played on September 2022 in Portugal and Poland, the R2 on November in the Czech Republic, and this January’s R3 in Belgium), now it was time for these 1st final. [Press kit booklet here]

The Catalan CK Vallparadís, Tornadoes KC from England, the Portuguese NC Benfica and 1908 SZAC Budapest from Hungary were the teams qualified to play this event. Due to a late withdrawal of the Hungarian champion, and the impossibility for KC Barcelona, as reserve team, to play “out of competition” due to some unfortunate miscommunication in the invitation process (read more), the competition continued with the three qualified teams playing a round-robin, according to the following match schedule:
