The 2026 Men's World Floorball Championships will be the 16th edition of this competition. It will held from 4 to 13 December 2026 in Tampere, Finland.[1]

Host selection

edit


Finland and Czech Republic both had expressed an interest in this event.[2] In 1 December 2022, the Finnish Floorball Federation announced a bid for 2026. The bid had support from the Finnish government and the federation had already sent preliminary letters to Denmark and Latvia about a possible co-host.[3] On 24 March 2023, Finland officially sent an application for the tournament. [4] During January and February, the Finnish Floorball Federation stated that they had a lot of interest from multiple cities, but chose Tampere due to their arenas and fans. The negotiations with Denmark and Latvia for a potential joint bid never materialized to an official bid as Finland submitted a solo bid.[5][4] Finland was given the hosting rights on 24 May 2023 at a meeting in Malmö.[1][6][7][8][9][10]

Preparation

edit

After a bid for the 2026 men's and 2027 women's was announced, the Finnish Floorball Federation announced they wanted to do a two-year project, with sponsors and organisation in mind.[3]

Mexico, United States bid
for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup
Bid details
Bidding nationMexico, United States
Bidding federationFMF and USSF
Proposed venues16 (in 16 cities)

The Mexico–United States 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup bid is a joint bid to host the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup by the soccer associations of Mexico and the United States. The bid was announced on April 19, 2023.

Background

edit

Before his resignation in 2017, former U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro expressed an interest in having the U.S. host the tournament, stating "I believe we can and should host the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2027."[1] However, it was not known where current president Cindy Parlow Cone could have stood on a possible bid. If successful, the U.S. would host the Women's World Cup one year after co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup and one year before Los Angeles hosts the Summer Olympics again.[2] The United States has previously hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup and this tournament twice in a row in 1999 and 2003. It was reported on August 6, 2021, that U.S. Soccer was considering a bid for the 2031 Women's World Cup as an alternative before reinstating its plan for 2027 on June 17, 2022.[3][4]

On June 21, 2022, the president of the Mexican Football Federation, Yon de Luisa, announced interests in hosting the 2027 edition and would seek to make a bid for it. Mexico has never hosted a FIFA Women's World Cup, but has hosted the men's World Cup twice, in 1970 and 1986, and will do so again as joint host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[5] A joint bid between the United States and Mexico was announced on April 19, 2023, prior to a friendly match between the men's teams.[6]

FIFA football tournament hosting experiences

edit

Together, Mexico, and the United States have hosted 8 FIFA events and are scheduled to host the 2026 World Cup, which is the most of any duo of geographically connected nations.

In addition, both countries have hosted at least one Olympic football tournament. Mexico in Mexico City 1968, and the United States hosted twice – in Los Angeles 1984 and Atlanta 1996. The Atlanta Games were the first to include a women's tournament.

Proposed venues

edit

The United States and Mexico have jointly announced their preparedness to host a World Cup, intending to utilize the same venues, infrastructure, and protocols as employed for the Men's World Cup the previous year.[7] 16 cities (5 in Mexico and 11 in the United States) were confirmed by the bid book.[8]
