Beach korfball made its debut in August 2025 at the World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China. Chinese Taipei won the final against the Netherlands with a long shot in the last second. Belgium won bronze.
Korfball has been on the World Games without interruption since 1985. Karlsruhe will be the first city to host the tournament twice: it was also held there in 1989. More information about the qualification, the format and the schedule will follow later.
