The IFF Central Board (CB) decided in its last meeting, according to the guidelines given by the IOC, to form an Athletes Commission consisting of 4 female and 4 male athletes. The commission will be lead by a member of the CB.

Half of the athletes (2 female and 2 male) are elected by their peers, during the EuroFloorball Cup Final round in January 2008 and the other are appointed by the CB directly, during the CB meeting in January. In the future the election of the Athletes will be conducted during the Adult’s World Floorball Championships, starting with the female members in the WFC in 2009.

The objective of the athletes’ commission is to comment and take part in the preparation of the Game Rule changes, looking over the Competition Regulations and participate in the development of IFF Competitions.

We now kindly ask each of the IFF Member Associations to nominate one female and one male athlete to the IFF Athletes Commission ASAP and not later than 31.12.2007. The nominations shall be sent to the IFF Head Office (office@floorball.org).
