2010 Men's World Floorball Championships

Under the IFF's new qualification system, the 32 countries registered for the world championships had to qualify for only 16 spots. 8 of these spots had already been pre-determined, with the top 7 teams from the 2008 Men's World Floorball Championships A-Division and the top team from the B-Division automatically qualifying. This left just 8 spots for the other 24 registered countries.

The countries already qualified are as follows:

Czech Republic	Finland
Germany	Latvia
Norway	Russia
Sweden	Switzerland

Qualifying in the Asia/Oceanian region for the world championships will be overseen by the Asia Oceania Floorball Confederation (AOFC).

Only 3 out of 5 registered AOFC countries qualified. The 5 countries were as follows:

Australia	Singapore
Japan	Korea
Malaysia

Note: India withdrew from world championships due to financial difficulties ^[1]

Only 4 out of 16 countries registered in Europe qualified. The 16 countries were as follows:

Austria	Belgium	Denmark	Estonia
France	Georgia	Great Britain	Hungary
Italy	Liechtenstein	Netherlands	Poland
Serbia	Slovakia	Slovenia	Spain

Only 1 out of 2 countries registered in North America qualified. The 2 countries were as follows:

Canada	United States

Ballots for the groups in this event were drawn on May 9, 2009, during one of the semi-final matches of the 2009 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships in Turku, Finland.

In the way the ballots were drawn, no team qualified from the AOFC played against each other in group stage matches, and no team qualified from Europe either.

The groups were assembled based on qualifying as follows:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
Finland	Latvia	Germany	Czech Republic
Russia	Switzerland	Sweden	Norway
Europe 1	AOFC 1	AOFC 3	AOFC 2
North America	Europe 2	Europe 4	Europe 3

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
Finland	Latvia	Germany	Czech Republic
Russia	Switzerland	Sweden	Norway
Denmark	Singapore	Australia	Japan
Canada	Poland	Estonia	Italy
