Asia-Oceania qualification edit

The Asia-Oceania qualification will be played between 21 and 25 May 2024 in Pasig City, Philippines. The event was originally going to be held in February 2024, but was postponed to May due to the delay of the 2021 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games to February.[4] The top three will make the 2024 Men's World Floorball Championships. Since China entered the event, they will take the host quota at the 2025 World Games in Chengdu.[2]
