The2023 Women's World Floorball Championships was the 14th edition of thiscompetition. It was held from 2 to 10 December 2023 inSingapore, marking the first time since the2005 that the event was held outside Europe.[1]Sweden were the 8-time defending champion, and they made it nine with a 6–4 win overFinland in the final.[2]
The tournament was criticized by sports journalists outside the host country due a low local promotion and consequently a very low ticket sales.[3][4] Despite this, it was considered a success by theIFF.[5]
Singapore andThailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023, while Czech Republic chose to focus on a bid for2025 after initially confirming an interest for 2023.[6][7] When the application window ended, only Singapore made an official bid.[8][9]
Singapore was awarded the hosting rights on 11 December 2020.[10][11][12][13]
Thirteen nations returned from2021.Italy andThailand both failed to qualify after receiving wildcards for2021, whileRussia was banned from taking part due toits invasion of Ukraine. Those returning wereAustralia andJapan after withdrawing from2021, whileFrance made their World Championship debut.
