The Guangzhou College of Technology and Business Korfball Team established in April 2017, the team is an inclusive and dynamic group united by a positive spirit. Guided by the tradition of mentorship, where senior players nurture new talent, the team engages in year-round training and rigorous competition preparation.

The Korfball Team has participated in various competitions and achieved impressive results. For example, the sixth place in the Single Zone B Group at the 2019 National Korfball Championships and won 4 consecutive championships at the 11th to 14th All China University Korfball Championships.

A historic milestone was reached in 2025 when 2 of the team members were selected for the U21 National Training Squad, earning the honor to compete at the IKF U21 Asia-Oceania Korfball Championship 2025. This breakthrough not only marks a significant achievement for the team but also provides the team with international experience for its future growth.

The Korfball Club, HKUSTSU established the first HKUST Korfball Team in 2003. Since then, the team has grown steadily, welcoming more members each year. The Club regularly organizes workshops and competitions on campus, aiming to promote the sport within the University community and to enhance its popularity across Hong Kong and Asia.

In recent years, the team has achieved notable success:
• Champion in Division B of the Hong Kong Korfball League (2024)
• Second Runner-up in the 67th Festival of Sport – President Cup Korfball Sports Trial and Demonstration Invitational Competition (2024)
• Fourth Place in the Inter-school Championship (2025)

The HKUST Korfball Team remains committed to fostering awareness of korfball and inspiring more students to take part in this dynamic and inclusive sport.

The University of Macau (UM) Korfball Team is an energetic team. In addition to the skill training, the team also emphasizes on physical fitness, which enables the players to show their competitiveness and passion on the court, for adding different exciting moments of the team. In recent years, the team has achieved great results in various tournaments. For instance, the 1st runner-up in the 68th Sports Festival – President’s Cup Korfball Invitational Tournament and the 1st runner-up in the 14th All China University Korfball Championship in 2025. Additionally, the team reached a milestone by competing overseas for the first time, representing the University of Macau at the 2025 AUSC International University Korfball Open Championship. This experience provided them with valuable international competition exposure, marking a new chapter in the team’s development journey.

Team BLADEN is a university korfball team based in Nara, Japan, formed by students from several universities, including Kyoto University, Nara University of Education. The team was established for the IKF U21 Asia-Oceania Korfball Championship in July, where many of our players gained international experience for the first time. Since then, we have been training hard, driven by the frustration and lessons from that tournament. The name “BLADEN” comes from the Dutch word for “leaves” and reflects the team’s desire to grow through many new experiences. Although some members are still new to korfball, they are eager to challenge themselves, learn as much as possible, and of course aim for victory in this competition. By taking part in this university tournament in Macau, BLADEN hopes to showcase an energetic style of korfball, build friendships with players from other regions, and take another step forward in its development as a team representing the young generation of korfball in Japan.

Team Korea is a university korfball team that began in 2006 and has grown around Seoul National University of Education (SNUE). Although the team went through a difficult period during COVID-19, it began rebuilding in 2022, bringing in new members and regaining its strength through steady effort.

In the summer of 2025, Team Korea hosted the Korea Cup, an international korfball tournament featuring teams from several countries. The event marked an important milestone in expanding awareness of korfball in Korea.

Team Korea plays with strong teamwork and unwavering passion. By supporting each other in every moment of the game, we strive to deliver our best performance and show the potential of Korean korfball on the international stage. Through this tournament, we hope to build meaningful connections with teams from other regions and continue growing as representatives of korfball in Korea.

Formed recently for the 2025 AUSC International University Korfball4 Open Championship, the Malaysia University Team brings together committed and passionate student-athletes from various universities across the country. This is a significant moment for Malaysia as it represents one of the earliest coordinated efforts to develop korfball at the university level, not only within Malaysia but also within the wider ASEAN and Asian sporting community.

The team was assembled with the goal of providing young athletes with meaningful international exposure, encouraging them to push their limits, and fostering a new generation of korfball players who will contribute to the sport’s long-term growth. Although newly formed, the team embodies strong values—discipline, teamwork, respect, and the true spirit of fair play. Each athlete brings a unique background and strengths, but they share one common purpose: to proudly represent Malaysia on this new journey.

Participation in this championship also reflects Malaysia’s commitment to strengthening ties with universities across the region, creating a platform for cultural exchange, friendship, and collaborative development. Beyond competition, the players look forward to learning from their peers, gaining new insights, and experiencing the unity that defines korfball as a mixed-gender, inclusive sport.
