Floorball at The World Games

Floorball first participated at TWG in Lahti in 1997 as an invitational sport, however, in Wroclaw in 2017, Floorball will be an official medal sport for the first time.

At TWG 2017, the Floorball competition was held over 4 days, from 27th – 30th July, and involved 6 men´s teams divided into two groups of 3. Due to limits placed on each sport regarding the number of participants, each team had only 14 players and up to 4 officials. There was a total of 11 matches, with match time being 3 x 15mins (effective time). Play-off & medal matches had 10 minutes extra time + penalty shots.

*Originally, this edition of The World Games was scheduled to be played 15th – 25th July 2021. However, due to the rescheduling of the Olympics from 2020 to 2021, the dates of TWG were also changed by one year.
