With 100 days to go to the first Floorball match being played at the 2022 World Games, we will be creating blog posts every 10 days counting down to the big event this July in Birmingham, Alabama, USA!

The journey began at the 2020 World Floorball Championships in Helsinki last December where the top 5, best AOFC and best AMER teams would qualify alongside hosts USA for the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, USA.

Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic and Switzerland were the first to qualify followed by Thailand who beat Philippines in a nervy shootout for 13th position and qualification to Birmingham and Canada who finished 12th and were the highest placing AMER country. Latvia completed the World Games lineup by beating Norway for 5th place. Hype has been building for the World Games since the World Championships in December, which saw the referees sport some World Games branding and logos on their outfits for the duration of the championships!

The 2017 World Games in Wrocław were won by Sweden, beating Switzerland in the final, 7-5. Finland came 3rd followed by Czech Republic in 4th, USA in 5th and hosts Poland in 6th.
