The battle for the world stage begins here.
Ten teams. Four spots.
One dream.
The biggest Asia–Oceania world championship qualifier for floorball is coming to New Zealand — the Men’s World Floorball Championships 2026 AOFC Qualification.
This summer, from 13–19 January, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington becomes the beating heart of Asia–Oceania floorball as ten teams chase their shot at the world stage.
Floorball is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, and for the first time, New Zealand is hosting this week-long Asia-Oceania qualifier that decides who reaches the Men’s World Floorball Championships 2026 in Finland.
This isn’t an exhibition. This is qualification - where reputations are made. They fight for every goal, every point and every second on court.
Across seven days, Ākau Tangi Sports Centre in Wellington will come alive with the kind of intensity usually reserved for global stadium sports.
We invite you to come witness it, in person!
The biggest floorball event New Zealand has ever hosted.
