Floorball is a fast-paced indoor team sport similar to ice hockey but played without skates. Each team consists of five players and a goalkeeper, and the objective is to score goals by hitting a lightweight plastic ball into the opponent's net using a curved stick. The game is played on a rectangular court with specific dimensions, and players must adhere to rules that promote safety and fair play. The sport originated in Sweden in the late 1960s and has since gained popularity worldwide, particularly in Europe. Floorball is governed by the International Floorball Federation (IFF), which organizes international competitions, including the World Floorball Championships. The game is known for its accessibility, making it suitable for players of all ages and skill levels.
