F-Liiga
The F-liiga is the top division in floorball in Finland .
14 teams play in the main round for men and 16 for women. The best eight teams qualify at the end of the main round season for the play-offs , in which the champions are ultimately determined. The first SM sarja was played in 1986/87. Champion was Manse United from Tampere. When the league was founded, it was called Salibandyn SM-sarja , and in 1994 it was renamed Salibandyliiga . On May 20, 2020 the Finnish Association announced that the league will be called F-Liiga. The aim is to make the league more internationally known and successful. The league is organized by the Finnish floorball association Suomen Salibandyliitto (SSBL).
The bottom of the table at the end of the season and a team that is determined in a relegation are relegated to the 1st division (Finnish: I-divisioona).
