Floorball world championship

The floorball world championship is a tournament organized by the floorball world association IFF to determine the world champion of women and men. It takes place every two years, in the even years for the men and in the odd years for the women. It was held for the first time in 1996 and replaced the European Floorball Championship , which was held twice in 1994 and 1995. The U-19 floorball world championship is held for juniors .

mode

Since the 2010 World Championships for men and 2011 for women, a new mode has applied to the World Championships. While previously playing in different divisions, there is now a continental qualification system similar to that of the soccer world championships.

The five best teams from the last World Championships, which should also include the home team, qualify directly for the World Championships. The remaining teams must play their participation in continental qualification groups.

The IFF world rankings, which are based on the last two world championships, are decisive for the allocation to the drawing pots for group allocation at the World Cup.
