The FITB is delighted to confirm that the World Beach Tchoukball Championships will be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, from 15 to 18 August 2017. FITB President Chris Huang was excited about the forthcoming event:
"The last Beach Tchoukball Championships was in Geneva in 2005, and I think it is very important to continue this event. With fewer players required and a totally different atmosphere to the indoor version, it gives us a chance to introduce newer developing countries to tchoukball and offer them a chance to play at the highest level."
