We are very proud of the Swiss national team, which has – for the first time – qualified for the IKF European Korfball Championships (EKC). Participating in such an international tournament means that we rely on sponsoring and donations from our friends, supporters, and fans. The crowdfunding has been very successful, raising more than CHF 6000 which is used to pay for preparation trainings and to minimize the amount our players pay themselves. We are also very grateful for our sponsors iET SA, Acumacon, Arcadis, NONAME sports consulting, Physiotherapie L. Kroes, DOM Nederland, EFESO Consulting, and Erbe Nederland, who support us on our road to Poland.
