Men’s U19 World Floorball Championships 2027 EUR2 Qualification officially kicks off. Running from 8th to 12th September, six nations will battle it out over five intense days of action for a coveted ticket to the final round in Riga, Latvia, next February.
Host nation Estonia leads a highly competitive field alongside Austria, Great Britain, Hungary, Slovenia, and Ukraine. With the tournament format offering no room for error, every single match will carry massive weight:
- Direct Qualification: The overall group winner will secure automatic qualification straight to the final round in Riga.
- The Second-Chance Comparison: The team finishing in second place will have their record compared against Spain (the runners-up from the EUR1 event) to determine who claims the final remaining qualification spot.
The Estonian team shows a strong sense of unity and team spirit. Our players have a good technical level and that gives us the opportunity to play against the top 10 teams in the world. Our goal for the WFCQ EUR2 2027 is to win against the top teams to qualify for the U19 WFC 2027.
