The German U17 national korfball team started preparing for the World Cup in January. Many players have already gained international experience at the U15 World Cup and some players played the U17 World Cup last year. A tournament was played in Zeist/The Netherlands at the end of May and now the team is looking forward to exciting matches against the other nations.

Hong Kong Youth Korfball Team (U17), the main members are composed of eight players who have participated in the U19 World Cup this year. We hope to give more learning opportunities to the players of the two competitions, and then back to Hong Kong to continue development into a strong team.

Our goal at the World Cup is to play challenging and enjoyable matches where we can learn a lot and improve. We will give our best in every match and we will sweat blood for the victory, for Hungary!

With a renewed team, we will do our best so that our athletes have an unforgettable experience, where they will certainly grow a lot, taking into account the quality of all the teams!

The U17 national team from Slovakia will be travelling to Eindhoven for the 6th consecutive year. Compared to the experience from previous years the team is composed of players that have already participated at this tournament along with a bunch of younger guys that will try to gain valuable international experience at this age level. In the build-up to the tournament we had prepared several trainings camps in Prievidza and Nitra, where most of our players are based. During the final stage of preparation the team participated at the Visegrad 4 U17 tournament in Nitra again, featuring the team from Ostrava and the Hungarian U17. Our ambition is to replicate the result from the 2022 edition- 8th place or better.

As a player, coach and staff, you look forward to participating in a World Cup. So many children who dream of being able to play such a tournament one day. The 7 ladies and 7 men of the Dutch team are also eager to defend the world title. It is a great experience to play against so many nationalities and different playing styles. And what a beautiful field of participants with Chinese Taipei, Portugal, Hungary, Hong Kong, Belgium, Germany, Catalonia, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic, England and Slovakia. The Netherlands is expected to win all matches, the bar is always high! We will do everything we can to realize that. But not only winning counts, development is also an important factor. In Eindhoven you always play in front of a full audience with a great atmosphere. We are looking forward to it!
