Körfuknattleiks

Körfuknattleiks is a popular sport in Iceland, often referred to as "Icelandic basketball." It is a variant of basketball that originated in Iceland in the early 20th century. The sport is played on a smaller court, with a ball that is slightly smaller than a standard basketball. The rules of körfuknattleiks are similar to those of basketball, with some notable differences. For instance, the three-point line is closer to the basket, and the shot clock is shorter. The sport is played with five players on each team, and the objective is to score more points than the opposing team by shooting the ball into the basket. Körfuknattleiks is a fast-paced and physically demanding sport, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and strategy. It is a popular pastime in Iceland, with numerous clubs and leagues throughout the country. The Icelandic national körfuknattleiks team has also achieved notable success on the international stage, including winning the European Championship in 2016.
