Sweden named host of 2024 Men’s Floorball World Championships Wednesday, 24 February 2021
Sweden has been named as host of the 2024 Men’s Floorball World Championships after being selected over Singapore.
The International Floorball Federation (IFF) Central Board decided on the World Championship host at their latest meeting.
An evaluation of the bids was conducted by a 12-member panel, compromising representatives from the IFF Executive Committee, IFF Rules and Competition Committee and the IFF office.
The Evaluation Committee found the bids were even, with the IFF Central Board opting for Sweden due to the potential for a larger financial impact amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

International Floorball Federation (IFF) has confirmed the participants for the Men’s Under-19 World Floorball Championships, after the governing body were forced to cancel remaining qualification events due to coronavirus.
The IFF said the cancellations followed months of discussions with the organisers and participating teams, including several postponements. It is very disappointing that the COVID-19 situation continues to prevent us from holding international events, said Sarah Mitchell, IFF event manager. For the IFF Member Associations, the logistics of international travel at this time, especially with junior players, is too great, and the focus for most countries is on re-establishing their national competitions, which the IFF fully supports.
