From 2 to 3 December 2025, the city of Abidjan in Ivory Coast hosted the IKF Beach Korfball World Cup (Africa) 2025, which ended after an intense final match between the host team and the undefeated Portugal.

The final 5-11 proclaimed the Portuguese team as champions of this Africa tournament, and adds its name next to the Netherlands, winners of the IKF BKWC (Europe) 2025, and Chinese Taipei, champions of the IKF BKWC (Oceania) 2025, played in August and November, respectively.

Ivory Coast got the silver medal and Honk Kong China the Bronze after beating Cameroon in the game for 3rd place by 13-5.

 

This concludes an incredible Beach Korfball season that featured numerous official national and international competitions, including the massive beach korfball competition held during the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China.

  

The Federation Ivoirienne de Korfball hosted this BKWC (Africa) in collaboration with the International Korfball Federation and IKF Africa, as part of the continental Beach Korfball World Cups taking place this season, together with a successful IKF Korfball Course for Coaches and Referees Level I + II (28/11-1/12).

All participants at this event earned points for the IKF Beach Korfball World Ranking, together with the prestige of competing in this continental championship.

Congratulations to all participants, organisers, local government, sponsors, officials and volunteers for making possible this fantastic event, that will be followed by the Abidjan Open Korfball Festival (4/12-6/12), an indoor K8 tournament open for national teams and club teams.

These games will allow to play more IKF Friendly International Matches to gain more points for the IKF World Ranking. The champion of the tournament will be the winner of the mixed competition (national teams + club teams).

IKF World Beach Korfball Championship 2022

/0 Comments/in /by

The first ‘IKF World Beach Korfball Championship’ will be held on 19 and 20 August 2022 in Nador, Morocco.

UPDATE 17/8/2022 – A live stream signal will be provided during the tournament on Field 1. To give all teams the opportunity to play broadcasted matches, the allocation of the fields has been slightly adjusted in the schedule. In the coming days, the LOC will inform trough which channels these live streams will be provided.

UPDATE 29/7/2022 – Pools and match schedule: Published the preliminary group phase and the final round scheme.

UPDATE 29/6/2022 – Participant countries (13): Armenia, Belgium, Cameroon, England, France, Hong Kong China, Hungary, India, Morocco, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Wales and United States of America.

UPDATE 30/3/2022 – Teams should fill the entry form and submit it to the IKF Office no later than 1 May 2022. The entry form should be signed by the President or the Secretary of your National Federation.

The successful continental Beach World Cup events in Europe and Asia over the last few years have demonstrated that there is a real appetite amongst the nations for Beach Korfball. The IKF is now delighted to extend the format to the global stage by organising a World Championship for the first time. In a close bidding race with the Royal Dutch Korfball Association (KNKV), who as always presented a very tempting bid, the IKF Council decided to grant this prestigious event to the Moroccan Association for Korfball (MAK).

Jan Fransoo (IKF President): “As well as the beautiful Summer weather, the excellent facilities, and professional organisation, the positive impact that our mixed-gender sport has in Moroccan society has been particularly key in our decision to award the organisation of the first World Beach Korfball Championship to the city of Nador in Morocco. We are looking forward to working closely with the organisers in making this a great event with a positive impact.”

The award of this event comes months after an agreement that the Moroccan Association for Korfball and the Mediterranean Youth Association have made with the Ministry of National Education to develop korfball in schools. Younes Cherfaoui (MAK president): “We are very proud to be able to organise the IKF World Beach Korfball Championship and to present the beautiful city of Nador to the korfball world. The event comes at the perfect moment to showcase korfball and really use it as an accelerator for the further development of korfball within Morocco.”
