The men's floorball tournament at the 2025 World Games was the third men's floorball tournament at the World Games, held from 6 to 13 August 2025 as part of the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China. [1]

Contents

The Swedish national team defended its title from both previous editions of the World Games by defeating Finland in the final. The Czech Republic once again secured the bronze medal with a victory over Switzerland. [2]

As in the previous tournaments at World Games, team rosters were limited to 14 players. Matches were shortened to three 15-minute periods (instead of the standard 20 minutes). Despite the shorter playing time, Finland achieved a record result in the group stage with a 42–0 win against China. [3]

Qualification

The men's tournament automatically included the host nation China, for which it was the debut at a major international tournament. Other countries qualified based on their placement at the 2024 World Championship. From there, the five best European teams and the best Asia–Oceania team from the main tournament advanced, along with the only automatically qualified team from the Americas. [4]
