New
Delhi, April 2026 : The Korfball Federation of India (KFI),
in collaboration with Sporty Bharat and the Foreign Correspondents’ Club
(FCC) of South Asia, will officially launch the Korfball Premier League
(KPL) on April 10, 2026, at Shangri-La Eros, New Delhi.
The
KPL represents a landmark moment for Indian sport—transforming a 45-year legacy
into a professional league format for one of the world’s only mixed-gender team
sports.
India
has played a pioneering role in korfball’s global journey since affiliating
with the International Korfball Federation in 1982. The country also made
history by hosting the 1995 IKF World Korfball Championship—the first time the
tournament was held outside Europe.
With a presence across 26 states and consistent international podium finishes, KFI now aims to elevate the sport through a structured league ecosystem designed for athletes, audiences, and global media engagement.
The
launch event will feature:
●
Official unveiling of the KPL logo
●
Announcement of the inaugural 2026 season
roadmap
●
Insights from sports leaders, athletes, and
international media voices
●
Exclusive media interactions and networking
opportunities
●
Speaking ahead of the launch, representatives
highlighted that KPL is not just a league, but a movement to position India as
a global hub for gender-equal sport.
