On behalf of Brazilian Association of Korfebol (ABRAKO), I am very grateful to
be able to share this report with all Korfball lovers worldwide.

It has been a hard work and sometimes it´s very tiring to make a giant nation
like Brazil leaves, even for a few moments, the football-culture aside to try a
new sport, with values as clear and as beautiful as those values who built
Brazilian people: Union, Joy and Love.

Brazilian people deserves to be able to figure out how to play Korfebol as well
as met with himself in music, art and hospitality. There is nothing more perfect
in the world than Brazilian people and Korfball.

I have a dream, I live and fight for this dream every day and i´ll stay working on
KORFEBOL it until soccer balls goes from men´s feet to the hands of men and women as
BRASIL
Korfball players.

As I´m used to say: You have to want it!

KORFBALL IN BRAZIL - HISTORY BRASIL

80´s

In the 80s a group of physical education teachers, graduated from
Universidade Gama Filho [1] (university), travelled to Austria in order to take part
on an international congress. There they discovered Korfball and enjoyed the
participation of women in the same team on equal terms. So they decided to bring it 1
to Brazil.
They formed teams in Colégio Anglo-Americano (a high school in Botafogo
beach) [2] and the Associação Atlética da Light (Public Light Company´s Sports
Club in Grajaú, Rio) [3] and carried many demonstrations with those teams in
universities.
An extraordinary success occurred in Curitiba (capital of the Paraná State),
in the 1st Brazilian and Pan-American Congress of Sports For All.
Unfortunately, this work wasn´t carried forward by this group of teachers for
lack of support and sponsorship.

any single article, report, book or any reference about korfball in Brazil to guide his research. His
Final Paper was based on verbal information given by some teachers as Luiz Alberto Batista, Dr. 5
Rizzo and Roberto Wagner, who were his biggest encouragers. At the same time Mr. Claudio
Ferreira de Oliveira, a Marcello´s classmate, started working directly on spreading Korfball as a

KORFBALL IN BRAZIL - SOCIAL BRASIL

It is mainly at schools that Korfball achieves great
success.

Because it is a different sport from those that Brazilians
have been practicing and it has pedagogical rules,
thereby minimizing short-term conflict between genders
at different ages, developing autonomy and affection.

It brings back the motivation to students who were
excluded from other modalities and that perhaps have not
yet large motor skills.

Through Korfball, we can develop our ability to approach
and collaborative youth in a fun teaching the Culture of
Peace

KORFEBOL 42

The work in underserved communities aims at
empowering women and youth through courses and lectures,
developing collective thinking, culture of peace through
mediation techniques.
The Korfebol is a great tool to facilitate dialogue, and
promote families integrations.
