The IWAS Powerchair Hockey World Championship is the most important international competition for powerchair hockey athletes and the 2022 World Championships will be the first time that such a competition will feature 10 teams from around the world! This is a great achievement that shows how the sport has evolved over the past decade. The full match schedule and results page for the World Championships are available here at tournify.de.

All nations qualified by World rankings as the 2020 European Regional Championship were canceled due to the COVID pandemic.

For those unfamiliar Powerchair Hockey is a team sport for people with a physical disability. Two teams of five players battle against each other and use their own strategies to win. There are two kinds of players. Players who have enough strength to hold a stick in their hand, play with a floorball stick. Others play with a stick that is attached to the wheelchair, a T-stick. Each team needs to have at least two T-stick players: one goaltender in front of the goal and one player on the field. The ball is the same ball that is used in floorball.

Good luck to all the teams and athletes competing in Switzerland!
