Floorball is a fast-paced indoor team sport that resembles ice hockey but is 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 features small goals at each end. 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, as it can be played in various indoor venues.
