After Singapore’s withdrawl from hosting the 2022 U19 men’s qualifiers, the IFF and AOFC have now confirmed that Floorball New Zealand’s bid to host has been accepted. The qualification event will be held in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) from September 29th to October 1st, 2022. Besides New Zealand, Australia and Singapore are expected to attend with this being Singapore’s first U19 Men’s event. Each team will play one another once and the top two out of the three teams will qualify for the 2023 U19 WFC in Frederikshavn, Denmark.

This marks the second time Wellington has hosted the Men’s U19 WFCQ and the first IFF event that New Zealand has hosted since the 2017 Women’s WFCQ after the 2022 U19 Women’s WFC fell through due to Covid. Opportunities to volunteer for the event in a variety of capacities will be made available shortly. We look forward to an exciting tournament!
