The Philippines national korfball team is the team which represents the Philippines in international korfball competitions. It is sanctioned and managed by the Philippine Korfball Federation.
Background
[edit]Korfball was introduced in the Philippines at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in 2007.[1] Korfball was brought in by a delegation of UST's Institute of Physical Education and Athletics which attended a korfball seminar workshop in Hong Kong. The Philippine Korfball Federation (PKF) was established within the year.[2] The PKF became a member of the International Korfball Federation (IKF) on September 13, 2014.[3]
A national youth team was formed which joined the 2015 Under-23 Asia-Oceania Korfball Championship; their first IKF-sanctioned international event.[4] A senior team was eventually formed with the Philippines making their Asia-Oceania Korfball Championship debut in the 2018 edition which was hosted in Japan.[5][6]
