The Netherlands have lived up to their pre-tournament favourites tag, clinching the Gold medal at the IKF U19 World Korfball Championship, which concluded today. The final, officiated by Lukas Pazourek (CZE) and Pardeep Dahiya (IND), saw the Dutch team defeat Belgian with a decisive 18-10 victory with Jinthe Kraaijeveld leading the scoring for the Netherlands with an impressive 5 goals.
Yani Thonon opened the scoring for Belgium with a running-in shot, but it wasn’t long before the Netherlands, sporting their new Craft kit, quickly established a significant lead, scoring 9 unanswered goals. The half-time score stood at 11-5 in favour of the Netherlands, a gap that ultimately proved too challenging for Belgium to overcome in the second half.
The journey to the final saw some compelling semi-final clashes on Saturday. In the first semi-final, the Netherlands demonstrated their dominance early on against the host nation, Czechia. By half-time, the score stood at a commanding 3-13 in favour of the Dutch, effectively securing their place in the final. Final score: 7-23. With the result decided, the Czech team quickly turned their focus to the bronze medal match the following day. The Dutch team’s performance was marked by their clinical shooting accuracy, particularly from their male players, with Seth Roeleven leading the way with 5 goals, followed by Bert Zijlema with 4, and Mikai Van Het Kaar with 3.
The second semi-final provided a much tighter and more dramatic affair between Belgium and Chinese Taipei. In a thrilling contest, Chinese Taipei held a slender 6-8 lead at the half-time break. However, Belgium emerged from the interval with renewed vigour, scoring five unanswered goals that forced Chinese Taipei into an immediate time-out. Despite a valiant effort and two late goals in the dying seconds, Chinese Taipei couldn’t overcome Belgium’s second-half surge. The final score was 14-12 in favour of Belgium, and the emotional scenes after the final whistle clearly illustrated the significance of the victory for the Belgian players, coaching staff, and their enthusiastic supporters in the arena.
Bronze medal match
Earlier today the battle for the Bronze medal also provided excitement, with Chinese Taipei emerging victorious over the host nation, Czechia. The final score stood at 19-14 in favour of Chinese Taipei, securing them a well-deserved place on the podium. Adding to the success of the event, the Bronze medal match between Czechia and Chinese Taipei was broadcast live on national television in Czechia. Another landmark moment represents a significant step forward in raising the profile of korfball within Czechia and exposing our dynamic sport to a wider audience.
958 goals scored
Guillem MartÍn of Catalonia distinguished himself as the top male goal scorer of the championship, scoring an impressive 24 goals. Throughout the championship, he consistently found the korf, contributing to the grand total of 958 goals scored across all matches of the IKF U19 World Korfball Championship 2025. On the female side, Anna VÁgÓ of Hungary emerged as the top scorer with a total of 20 goals, also contributing to the impressive overall tally.

Today the Netherlands government, in coordination with the Netherlands Olympic Committee, decided that all sports events will be canceled until the end of this month. This includes training and preparation activities.
While the U19 OEKC is starting 10 days after this period ends, the disruption in sports is huge. It is not at all unlikely that this period will be extended. Moreover, travel restrictions in Europe are increasing day-by-day, and a number of countries have imposed travel restrictions on the Netherlands. Effectively, this current decision of the Netherlands government, along with multiple decisions of other governments implies that the U19 Open European Korfball Championship unfortunately will need to be canceled on the earlier announced dates of 10-12 April 2020. The International Korfball Federation and the Royal Dutch Korfball Association have jointly concluded this today. We will review in due course whether an option can be created to organise the championship at a later date. At this stage, however, this is unclear and no commitment can be made for that.
We realise that on the one hand the cancelation of this event is a major disappointment for the athletes and officials that have been preparing for this event for such a long time. At the same time, health considerations are critical, not only for our athletes and officials, but also in relation to our joint responsibility to combat this virus.
We would like to thank the KNKV and the Local Organising Committee for the extensive efforts they have conducted in the preparations of this event.
