/0 Comments/in , , /by

The sun-soaked beaches of Hurghada played host to an exhilarating edition of the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Africa) 2026, which concluded yesterday on July 4. Teams from across continents brought high-energy mixed-gender beach korfball action to Egypt’s Red Sea coast, showcasing the sport’s unique blend of skill, strategy, and athleticism in the sand.

Belgium emerged as champions, defeating strong competition in what proved to be a thrilling tournament. Hong Kong China secured a well-deserved silver medal in second place, while Hungary claimed bronze in third, marking impressive performances for all podium teams.

The event featured intense pool matches and knockout stages under not always ideal beach conditions due to the wind.

The Belgian squad demonstrated exceptional teamwork, defensive solidity, and attacking flair throughout the competition. They faced tough challenges, including a Day 1 encounter against Hungary that ended in a 1-1 draw resolved by a shoot-out in Belgium’s favor. Belgium also powered past Zimbabwe with a convincing 2-0 victory (10-2 / 9-1). Their consistent excellence culminated in a strong final showing to claim the title.

Hong Kong China delivered standout performances, advancing through competitive matches and proving their growing prowess in beach korfball. Reaching the final highlighted their tactical adaptability and endurance in the demanding beach format.

Hungary impressed with resilient play, building on recent momentum from other beach events. Their third-place finish adds to their rising profile in international korfball.

This first official IKF tournament in Egypt emphasized korfball’s core values as a mixed-gender sport, with teams combining speed, precision shooting, and tactical passing on the sand. Spectators and participants enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere in Hurghada, supported by the Egyptian hosts.
