Czech Open is an international floorball tournament. It takes place every year in August in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the largest floorball tournaments in the world. Every year over 200 teams from around the world participate. The first season was played in 1993. The tournament is organized by Prague floorball club Tatran Střešovice. [1]

Contents

There are seven categories in the tournament. Both men and women have three categories (Elite, Pro and Open) and juniors have one. [2] Czech teams have a number of places reserved, which are assigned according to standings of the teams in Czech floorball leagues (such as Superliga florbalu or Extraliga žen ve florbale).

The most successful team in the history of the tournament is Swedish Pixbo IBK, with nine titles in men's and ten in women's Elite categories. [3] [4] By 2024, the men Elite category has been won only by three teams from the Czech Republic – 1. SC Vítkovice, Tatran Střešovice and FBC Ostrava. They won in 1998, 1999, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024. With an exception of Tatran wins in 2022 and 2024, those were years, when the strong Scandinavian teams did not arrive. [5] [6] Women Elite has also only three Czech winners – Děkanka (2006 through 2010, 2012), [7] Tatran (1997, 2004) [8] [9] and Vítkovice (2020, 2021). [10] [6]
