Introduction to Quadball
The 2025 Quadball World Championship was won by a Belgian team led by Seppe de Wit, marking the end of a 12-year journey. This victory made them the first European nation to claim the title.
The Origins of Quadball
Quadball originated from the fictional game "Quidditch" created by JK Rowling in the Harry Potter series. Over time, it has evolved into a floor-based sport where mixed-gender teams compete, using broom-like sticks and aiming to score by throwing balls through tires.
The Sport’s Values
Although Quadball has its roots in a magical world, its athletes have chosen to distance themselves from the controversy surrounding JK Rowling’s views on transgender rights. Instead, the focus is on building a community that values acceptance and inclusion, making the sport a welcoming space for all participants.
