Korbball is different from Basketball, hell it's even different from Korbball

So you are saying if we define a third meaning it will have one more than "football"? Sounds like a good start to become the most popular sport.

Additionally the third "Korbball" will be hosted in Germany only and is only accessible to german teams in the NKL, but we still call it the Weltmeisterschaft (World Championship).
