Wales national korfball team


The Wales National Korfball Team often referred to as the Welsh Korfball Squad is managed by the Welsh Korfball Association/Cymdeithas Pêl-Corff Cymru, and represents Wales in international korfball competition.
The Welsh Korfball Squad entered its first IKF ranking competition in 2007, after the Great Britain national korfball team was disbanded to produce three teams: England, Wales and Scotland. Wales is a fully recognised member of the International Korfball Federation and is currently ranked 18th in the world.
They played the World Championships for the first and only time in 2011, after the withdrawal of Hungary. In 2006 they reached the 3rd place in the Korfball Commonwealth Games.
