The team has participated in all World and European Championships to date. Its best result is a second-place finish at the home championship in 2025.[2] They also won two bronze medals from the World Championships in Switzerland in 2011 and in Singapore in 2023.[3] In the medal ranking, the team is therefore in fourth place, behind Switzerland and ahead of Norway. Since 2009, the Czech women have always reached the semifinals at the championships.[4] In the IFF World Ranking, they are second (behind Switzerland and ahead of Finland), after finishing third and second at the last two championships in 2023 and 2025.[5][2][6]

Milestones of the National Team

The Czech women's national floorball team played its first match at the first and only Women's European Championships in 1995. It was a winning match against Latvia.[7]

Their first success at a major international tournament came in 2006 in Prague at the first Euro Floorball Tour (EFT), where they drew with Switzerland, the reigning world champions at the time.[8] They earned their first draw against Sweden also at the EFT in 2008[9] and against Finland a year later.[10]

At the World Championships, they fought for medals for the first time in 2009, after achieving their first-ever victory over Norway in the tournament's history.[11][12] They won their first bronze medal at the next World Championships in 2011. In the third-place match, they defeated Switzerland for the first time at a World Championship.[13]

They defeated Sweden for the first time at the EFT in September 2023 and earned their second silver medal at the tournament.[17] At the World Championships in the same year, they claimed their second bronze medal, thereby matching Norway in fourth place in the all-time medal standings.[18]
