# Floorball at the 2022 World Games

The floorball competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022, in Birmingham, United States, at the BJCC East Exhibition Hall. Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Qualification

Qualification for the floorball event of the 2022 World Games was determined through the 2020 Men's World Floorball Championships. The United States as host qualified automatically. The top five finishing teams at the 2020 World Championships as well as the best finishing team from the Americas and Asia Oceania qualified for the World Games. However the qualified Asia-Oceania team had to be confirmed by the IFF Central Board and General Assembly since qualification for Asia Oceania teams for the World Championship was not held.
