The Slovak Floorball Association was founded in 1998, and the men's national team made its first appearance at a tournament in Leipzig in 2003. They debuted at the World Floorball Championship in 2004 in Division C, where they finished in 4th place (23rd overall). The team also competed in Division C in the next two championships. However, the performance-based division system was later abolished, and for the 2010 Championship, a qualification system was introduced. In the qualification round, Slovakia lost a decisive match against Estonia and failed to advance.

Slovakia made its first appearance among the world’s elite at the 2012 World Floorball Championships, where they managed to reach the quarterfinals and finished in 8th place. Since then, the team has participated in every World Championship.
