The First Pan-American Korfball Championship[1] was held in Brazil from January 31 to February 2, with 3 national teams in competition. Originally 4 national teams were to compete until the withdrawal of Argentina (for financial reasons), so spare match fixtures were played against a second Brazil team, who played their matches out of the competition.
