Two teams will play in the Women´s World Floorball Championships Qualification for Americas group. The AMER qualification is played in the Cornell Community Centre Markham, Ontario, Canada on the 3rd and 4th of February 2017.
From Americas, the top placed team will qualify.
Canada (16) and USA (17) are very close to the rankings and the game will be very tight which team will qualify to the final round. Even though Canada is ranked higher, last time these two teams met was in December 2015 and US won both matches with only few goals difference.
From AOFC, 4 teams will qualify, and from Europe 10 teams plus Slovakia, who is hosting the Women´s WFC 2017, will qualify.
More detailed information about the qualifications available at IFF Event page.
