The 2025 Women's World Floorball Championships was the 15th edition of Women's World Floorball Championship, the biennial international floorball championship organised under the auspices of the IFF for the women's national teams across the world. It was held from 6 to 14 December 2025 in Brno and Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The final was in Ostrava.

Switzerland emerged victorious after defeating the Czech Republic in the final. For the Swiss team, it was the second victory in their history, having previously won in 2005. The Czech team reached the gold-medal match for the first time after defeating Finland for the first time at a World Championship in the semifinals. The Swedish team failed to win the tournament for the first time since 2005. It also lost its streak of 54 consecutive unbeaten matches at World Championships. In addition, Sweden lost the bronze-medal match against Finland and finished a World Championship without a medal for the first time.[4][5][6][7]
The tournament set a record attendance of 67,736 spectators, surpassing the previous record from the 2019 championship. The final match also saw a record crowd of 8,844 spectators, exceeding the attendance of the 2015 tournament final.[8][7]
Host selection
In late 2019, the Czech Floorball Federation announced they were considering bidding for either the 2023 or 2025 edition. They ended up choosing to bid for 2025 after Singapore and Thailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023 as they wanted to give a country outside of Europe a chance to host (Singapore hosted the 2023 event).[9][10]
The Czechs were given the hosting rights unopposed on 24 May 2023.[1][11] The Moravian-Silesian Region has given its financial support to this tournament.[2] It will be the second time that the Czech Republic hosts the Women's World Floorball Championships. The first time was in 2013, in the same cities.
Qualification
The final tournament features 16 national teams. The Czech Republic has secured its participation in advance as the host country. The remaining spots were determined among the registered teams through regional qualifiers.
Slot allocation
Two European qualifiers took place between January 28 and February 1, 2025, in Valmiera, Latvia, and Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy. The Latvian qualifier included ten teams divided into two groups, with the top three teams from each group advancing. In Italian qualification, held in conjunction with qualification tournament for the 2025 Men's U19 World Championships, eight teams competed, divided also into two groups. The top two teams from each group qualified, along with the winner of the playoff match between the third-placed teams. For the first time since 2015, the Netherlands qualified for the championship after a 10 year absence, replacing France.[12][13]
The American qualifier took place from 8 to 10 March in Austin, USA, and the home team qualified.[14]
The Asia-Oceania qualifier was held from 18 to 22 March in Singapore. Eight national teams divided into two groups competed for three spots. The top two teams also qualified for the 2025 World Games. The qualifying teams were to be determined in the play-offs, which included the top two teams from each group. Thailand, which had advanced to the final, withdrew from the championship in advance due to a scheduling conflict with the SEA Games, which it is hosting. As a result, the remaining three play-off participants automatically qualified for the championship. The knockout stage of the tournament then only served to determine the qualifiers for the World Games.[15][16]

Tournament format
In the group stage each team plays each other once, while the second stage of the event includes play-offs and placement matches.
The two best teams of group A and B go directly to the quarter-finals. Teams placed third and fourth in group A and B and the teams placed first and second in group C and D go into the first play-off round (played before the quarter-finals).
Because the tournament is held in two cities, the schedule is slightly different from usual. The group stage is played over three days instead of the usual four. The play-off qualification round will already take place on the fourth day. On the fifth day, the teams advancing to the quarterfinals will have a rest day to transfer from Brno to Ostrava.[26]
Preliminary round
The schedule was announced on 24 June 2025.[27] Times are CET (UTC+1)
Tiebreakers
Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:
- Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches.
If the ranking of one of these teams is determined, the above criteria are consecutively followed until the ranking of all teams is determined. If no ranking can be determined, a drawing of lots will decide the outcome.
