International Floorball Federation (IFF) has confirmed the participants for the Men’s Under-19 World Floorball Championships, after the governing body were forced to cancel remaining qualification events due to coronavirus.
The IFF said the cancellations followed months of discussions with the organisers and participating teams, including several postponements.
