The Korfbal Challenge is an international tournament which is being held in Rotterdam between Christmas and New Years Day. Only 2 Korfbal League clubs are granted access to this tournament; only the 2 finalists of the Korfbal League Finals from that year. Besides that, this tournament features teams from other countries, such as Belgium, Taiwan, Spain or Czech Republic. The Korfbal Challenge is besides being a high class tournament also a moment where the KNKV tries out possible new rules of the game. Some experiments are being rejected quickly, but also some experiments are turned into new international rules. This way, the game tries to keep up and lift dynamics or speed of the game. Fortuna has won this tournament 3 times, in 2003, 2004 and 2012.
