The 2025 Women's World Floorball Championships will be the 15th edition of this competition. It will be held from 6 to 14 December 2025 in Brno and Ostrava in the Czech Republic.[1][2][3] Sweden are the 7-time defending champions.

Host selection

In late 2019, the Czech Floorball Federation announced they were considering bidding for either the 2023 or 2025 edition. They ended up choosing to bid for 2025 after Singapore and Thailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023 as they wanted to give a country outside of Europe a chance to host (Singapore hosted the 2023 event).[4][5]

The Czechs were given the hosting rights unopposed on 24 May 2023.[1][6][7] The Moravian-Silesian Region has given its financial support to this tournament.[2]
