Team Netherlands at WFCQ EUR2
Floorball fans, get ready — two thrilling international events are just around the corner! The U19 World Floorball Championships and the fast-growing 3×3 World Championships for both men and women are set to bring an action-packed few weeks to the floorball world!
U19 Men’s WFC 2025 (29.04. – 04.05), Zurich, Switzerland.
The U19 Men’s World Championships will feature the top young talent from across the globe. Held every two years, this tournament has become a key showcase for the next generation of floorball stars.
This year’s competition will see traditional powerhouses like Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, and Switzerland battling it out for the title. Sweden, the reigning champions, are looking strong again, with a roster filled with players already shining in their domestic leagues.
Several teams had to fight hard through the qualifiers. For example, Germany and Slovakia secured their spots through intense playoff matches, showing how the competition outside the top four nations is heating up. Watch out for Latvia too — they have been investing heavily in youth development and could spring a surprise.

Also, it will be really interesting and exciting to see teams as Singapore, Australia, Netherlands and Slovenia as top teams who got their spot through hard battles in WFCQ in EUR2 group (Netherlands and Slovenia) and AOFC group (Singapore and Australia).
So, tune in for the young stars showcasing their skill! And you know what – THE U19 TOURNAMENT STARTS TOMORROW !!! How exciting is that? First game starts tomorrow at 10:00 when Czech Republic will FACEOFF Denmark in Group A and Australia will FACEOFF Estonia in Group D!

3×3 WFC 2025 in Winterthur, Switzerland. (02.05 – 03.05)
Golden shot from team Finland at last 3×3 WFC!
Meanwhile, the 3×3 format — a faster, more dynamic version of traditional floorball — continues to grow. Shorter matches, smaller teams, and fewer rules make for breathtaking, non-stop action.
The men’s and women’s 3×3 tournaments are particularly exciting this year as new nations are stepping up. Teams like Thailand and Australia have shown rapid improvement, especially in the women’s game, where upsets are becoming more common. And we want to congratulate Kenya for advancing to WFC 3×3 for the first time ever! It’s indeed really amazing to see our sport being developed in the world even more and more!
Team Latvia as first winners of 3×3!
Sweden and Czech Republic are favorites in both categories, but keep an eye on Singapore and Canada, who are bringing highly skilled, creative squads that could cause trouble for the traditional giants. And, of course, let’s not forget about the reigning champions – Finland in Women’s category and Latvia in Men’s category. And what do you think – will these countries defend their title?
Interesting Fact: The 3×3 format was initially tested at local tournaments to attract younger players and audiences. Now it’s becoming a serious, standalone world championship event!
Stay tuned and free-up your weekend because there will be a lot of exciting games to see at the 3×3 WFC in Switzerland! Also – which team will you support?
