today, is a very important milestone for Floorball,
opening doors for Floorball in a number of countries,
where it before has been hard to enter into the sports
community. This however is just the start of a long
journey and will help us further to develop our sport,
aiming to fulfil all the criteria’s stipulated by
the IOC, to one day have a product which is equal
in both quantity and quality to the sports of the
Olympic Games,” says Mr. Tomas Eriksson, IFF President.
