It’s now official: Belgian inline hockey will move forward independently from the RBIHF.
This friendly separation was a necessary step to allow the RBIHF to remain IIHF-compliant, while giving our discipline the space and structure it needs to grow.
This transition hasn’t happened overnight. It was carefully prepared by the new organizational team within the BIHA, who are now ready to lead the way.
The new season is already taking shape, and clubs have been aware of this evolution for quite some time.
If you have any questions regarding this transition, please direct them to the new BIHA structure.
We warmly thank the RBIHF for all the years of collaboration.
Together toward the future. Long live Inline Hockey!
Welcome to the official website of BIHA (Belgian Inline Hockey Association)! We are thrilled to have you here and excited to introduce you to the wonderful world of inline hockey in Belgium.
A New Era for Belgian Inline Hockey
After years of growth and development, inline hockey in Belgium is entering an exciting new chapter. As the Inline Commission of the FBRS-BFRS (Belgian Federation of Roller Sports), and with the authorization and support of the FBFP (Fédération Belge Francophone de Patinage) and Skate Vlaanderen, BIHA is proud to organize and promote this dynamic sport across the country.
The 2025-2026 season marks our inaugural season as BIHA, representing a significant milestone in the evolution of Belgian inline hockey. This transition reflects our commitment to providing the best possible organization, competition structure, and development opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels.

Inline hockey fosters a strong sense of community. From youth development programs to senior competitive leagues, players form lasting friendships and develop valuable life skills through teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
