The Italian Floorball Championship will start on the 10th of October at 20:00 when SSV Diamante and Algund will enter the field for the first official match of the championship after the coronavirus. Dario Falchi, Member of the Board and Head of Floorballmania, has provided information about the Italian championship.

How has the preparation for the new season been in Italy?
– It is not an easy time for any country, but we are now restarting with the utmost respect for the different regulations. The Italian Floorball Association (FIUF) has done a great job in this difficult period, to keep in contact with the clubs and keep everybody involved.The Italian teams have had their pre-season with athletic preparation, mainly outdoors, and are now ready to start the championship. It will be great to be on the field after a long period of meetings on the web.

Are there any winner favorites and major changes in major leagues?
– In recent years the playoffs have given us beautiful finals and I think it will be like this again this year. The favorites for the title are in my opinion four: SSV Diamante Bolzano, Gargazon-Sterzing, Viking Roma and I would also pay attention to Algund. For the other places in the playoffs, I’d say it’s an open fight between all other teams.

– In the Italian championship also female athletes are allowed to play together with the men. We also have the Women’s championship, which will begin on the 10th of November with the first game between Black Lions and Floorball Marsica.

How to follow the championship?
From this year it will be possible to follow the Italian championship, with the most important matches being sent in webstreaming on MS Channel after an agreement signed between the Italian Floorball Association and the broadcaster.

– It will be a season characterised by respect for the rules, but in the same time full of emotions. I hope that all the matches of the different championships can be played regularly according to the schedule, Jorgen Olshov, General Secretary of the Italian Floorball Federation, commented.
