The Executive Board of the IOC has decided, for the time being, not to grant Floorball IOC provisional recognition. Floorball is, according to the IOC charter, a summer sport.The main reason for not being granted IOC recognition is that we only consist of 32 members in IFF. Required are, in the new process started in November 2003, to have 50 members. Floorball already meet with other requirements as work against doping, attracting the youth and media. The process of the IFF application for IOC recognition is an ongoing one, i.e. Floorball does not have to wait another four years to get IOC recognition if we fulfil the requirements of the IOC charter.
