The Royal Belgian Korfball Federation (Dutch: Koninklijke Belgische Korfbalbond, or KBKB) is the governing body of korfball in Belgium. The federation is structured as an Association without lucrative purpose.[2] It organises the main Belgian korfball league and the more recreative leagues, and the Belgian national team.
