Korfbal Club Barcelona

The Korfbal Club Barcelona (KCB) is the first korfball club of Barcelona, founded on 5 June 2006.

History

The Korfball Club Barcelona was founded on June 5, 2006 by a group of locals korfball players, and started playing on the Second National Division on 26 November that year. In 2007, during the first season since its foundation, the team achieved promotion to the National First Division (now the National League). After reaching an agreement with the Sports Department of the City of Sant Cugat hand councilor Xavier Cortés during those years, this place was occupied Korfball Club Sant Cugat, which was a subsidiary since that time. Membership remained until the 2010/11 season, and from the 2011-12 season the KC Barcelona team returns to the National League.

In the summer of 2012 the club contracted Albert Vidaña, former Catalan National Team coach and member of the IKF, as first team coach and coordinator of the technical structure. In his first season, the club won the champion National League and was runner-up of the Catalan Cup.
