In this article, we introduce all seven teams, their ambitions for the tournament and the players they have highlighted as their rookie, strongest defender, most skilful player and the player who best represents the FairFloorball spirit.
Czechia
A fast, dynamic team playing modern floorball with plenty of movement, rotations and creative attacking play.
Rookie/Young Player – #17 Barbora Janošová
Born in 2010, she is the youngest player on the team. A talented player with excellent skills and all the attributes needed to make her mark on the international stage.
Strongest Defender – #15 Šárka Staňková
MVP of the last World Championship, a mainstay at Swedish club Kalmarsund and one of the team’s most versatile players. You’ll often see her in front of the opposition’s goal, too.
Skillful Player – #7 Anna Brucháčková
One of the best players in the world. Creative and technically outstanding, she often comes up with unconventional, unexpected plays.
Who represents #FairFloorball the best? – #8 Sofie Gocová
These values are shared by the entire team, but if we had to highlight one name, it would be Sofie Gocová, who plays for Sweden’s IBK Lund and also won this award at the last World Championship.
Slovakia
After the last WFC, a number of players left the team, so this qualification tournament will be the first event for a newly squad—a mix of experience and youthful energy. We believe we can succeed, and we want to be strong both defensively and offensively, as well as confident in possession. Our goal is to qualify for the WFC and lay the foundations for the team’s future development.
Rookie/Young Player – #19 Sára Osuská

Who represents #FairFloorball the best? – #26 Jana Krcmarikova
Is one of our current main team leaders. In her case, the phrase “pillar of the team” does not even come close to describing how important she is to the squad and how she leads by example in every way.

AMER
Canada
We are a team that genuinely enjoys being together and has a lot of fun, but when it is time to compete, we know how to turn on the jets. You can expect a team that works extremely hard for each other, competes with intensity, and always puts the team first.

She consistently shows respect towards her teammates, opponents, referees, officials, and everyone around her. She represents exactly how we want our players to behave both on and off the court.
USA
Expect an exciting mix of veteran leadership and promising new talent. We have two strong goalies, experienced defenders, a versatile offense, and above all a positive group that knows how to work together. This team plays for each other, and it shows on the floor.
Rookie/Young Player? – #4 Alice Dickinson
She was named Rookie of the Year on her Women’s A team for Vimmerby, and we’re excited to see how she brings that form to the international stage.
