The KPL represents a landmark moment for Indian sport--transforming a 45-year legacy into a professional league format for one of the world's only mixed-gender team sports.

India has played a pioneering role in korfball's global journey since affiliating with the International Korfball Federation in 1982. The country also made history by hosting the 1995 IKF World Korfball Championship--the first time the tournament was held outside Europe.
