The International Korfball Federation has sealed a renewed four-year sponsorship agreement with Japanese sports equipment company Mikasa.
Under the deal, which replaces a similar arrangement between the two parties that expired on December 31, 2013, Mikasa will provide the IKF with match balls for its international games.
The first IKF tournament to be played under the new deal will be the 48th IKF Europa Cup, running from January 15-18, before the eight-team IKF Europa Korfball Shield in Vilanova y la Geltru, Catalonia on January 24-26.
