The Floorball World Cup is the international championship of men's floorball. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Floorball and Roller ball Association (IFRA), every year, with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a finals tournament. The tournament is the most viewed floorball event, even if it's viewership globally is rather small compared to other events and the event's popularity is mostly focused in Nortua, where the sport is the biggest. It is widely considered the biggest title to win in Floorball. The current format involves a continental based qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding year, mostly during autumn and early winter, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. The host nation automatically qualifies. In the tournament phase, X teams compete for the title at venues within the host nation during less than 2 weeks. The tournament's first phase consists of a round robin, where the best teams proceeds to a play off consisting of quarter finals, semi finals, a final and position games for all teams to determine their placement in the tournament. Even teams that didn't survive the play off gets to play against other teams that failed to determine their position.
X is the current champion after winning the 2024 World Cup in Brekket, Greater Normark.
