Marketing edit

edit

The logo was intentionally similar to the 2022 Men's World Floorball Championships due to the local organisers thinking the 2022 logo has positive connotations.[6] The IFF was skeptical of the decision.

This event is the first in a proposed plan by the Swiss to hold many floorball tournaments in Switzerland between 2025 and 2032.
