cities across the country.

Belgium_500x500px.png

Belgium

It is with the greatest pleasure that we formed the Belgian Mölkky Federation on July 1st 2023.
The founding members and the Belgian Mölkky Federation thank you very much for their acceptance into the great international family of discipline.
A small country with only around sixty federated members, but so large by the quality of its players, brave and valiant as Caesar already said,
you can count on us for epic clashes and merciless duels during the frenzied games of Mölkky.
Our accent is also legendary with our famous Wuit (8, eight) often mocked by adorable French adversaries, but that's Belgian eh my guy and proud of it!
Long live Mölkky!
