The World Games 2017: Who has qualified? (update)

November 9, 2015/0 Comments/in Korfball News /by Jan Fransoo

(updated 8 November 2015) The IKF had drastically changed the qualification criteria for the World Games 2017 (TWG 2017), such that a better global balance would be attained while retaining the quality of the event.

In the qualification procedure, Poland had been qualified automatically as host country, while any non-European country would qualify if it would finish in the top-11 of the IKF WKC 2015. The remaining countries would be the top European countries.

Catalonia has declined the opportunity to take part, as Catalonia is not an IOC-recognized country. As in the past, if England would qualify, they would enter the World Games representing Great Britain.

(9 November 2015). The following eight countries qualified:

1. Poland (host country)

2. China (non-European country reaching WKC top 8; 7th place)

3. Chinese Taipei (non-European country reaching WKC top 8; bronze medal)

4. Australia (non-European country finishing 11th place)

The remaining countries in the World Games 2017 will be from Europe. These include the four remaining highest finishers in this IKF WKC:

5. The Netherlands

6. Belgium

7. England

8. Germany
