The International Floorball Federation was founded in Huskvarna,
Sweden, by the floorball
associaions of Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. The president
of the federation is from Sweden and his name is Tomas Eriksson.
Today there are over 37member associations and 3700 different
clubs. 249000 registered players and of them 131425 registered
players are in Sweden.
It's Sweden's largest indoor sport and it's growing very fast.
One reason is that Sweden has the best team of all, they have
won the men's floorball world championship all times, and the
women has won medal every time. The first U-19 championship
was played in 2001 and Sweden won that one too. The championship
is played every year, in even years for men and U19 women and
in odd years for women and U19 men. Another reason is that it's
a very cheap sport
