International Korfball Federation and MIKASA introduce a new korfball
The sport of korfball is set to introduce a revolutionary new ball. Apart from its size and shape – which remains spherical – the ball is brand new in every other respect: design, material and colours.
On Wednesday 29 September 2010 the new International Match Standard Korfball will be unveiled in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. On behalf of IKF President Mr. Jan Fransoo, and the IKF Executive Committee, we invite you to attend the official media presentation, where the new korfball will be revealed. This is an exciting, modern korfball that will take our sport into the future. It has improved grip for the players, improved visibility for spectators and media, and a dynamic design that will attract increased interest to korfball from young and old.
The IKF European Championship 2010 is the first event that will use the new Mikasa K5-IKF as the International Match Standard Korfball. This Championship will (from 22 October) be held in five cities in The Netherlands: Almelo, The Hague, Leeuwarden, Tilburg and Rotterdam. The final will take place on the 31st October 2010.
Mikasa and the IKF have a long standing partnership and the development of the new ball is the fruit of a significant period of close and productive collaboration. The new ball further demonstrates Mikasa’s customary high quality production standards. We hope to meet you in person on 29 September in the Topsportcentrum, Van Zandvlietplein 20 in Rotterdam.
The presentation is at 18:30 (GMT/UTC +1) and will take 30 minutes. For planning purposes, if you are able to join us, please confirm by e-mail (office@ikf.org).
