The 2027 Women's World Floorball Championships will be the 16th edition of this competition. It will held from 3 to 12 December 2027 in Turku, Finland.[1]
Host selection[edit]
In late October 2022, the Finnish Floorball Federation announced their intent bid for a 2027 bid.[2] The bid had support from the Finnish government.[3] On 24 March 2023, Finland officially sent an application for the tournament. [4] During January and February, the Finnish Floorball Federation stated that they had a lot of interest from multiple cities, but chose Turku due to their facilities and fans.[5][4] Finland was given the hosting rights on 24 May 2023 at a meeting in Malmö.[1][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Preparation[edit]
After a bid for the 2026 men's and 2027 women's was announced, the Finnish Floorball Federation announced they wanted to do a two-year project, with sponsors and organisation in mind.[3]
