Floorball at the the European Masters Games 2019 Italy (EMG)
European Masters Games 2019
The European Masters Games (EMG) is an international multisport event that takes place every four years. This year the event took place in Torino, Italy from 26th July – 4th of August, and Floorball was on the programme for the first time.
Players didn’t need to be a world champion, a national team player, or even part of a regular competition. In fact, they didn’t even have to be European! The event was open to everyone from around the world – as long as they were old enough.
6 teams from five different countries took part in two competitions, 35+ & 45+. The tournament was held over three days from 1st – 3rd August at Palestra Palatucci, Torino.
Category 35+
Played with 2 x 15 minute periods in group games, and 2 x 20 minutes in play-offs. Full court with 5v5 + GK.
