Marketing

[edit]
[edit]

The logo was intentionally similar to the 2022 Men's World Floorball Championships due to the local organisers thinking the 2022 logo has positive connotations.[7] The IFF was skeptical of the decision.

This event is the first in a proposed plan by the Swiss to hold many floorball tournaments in Switzerland between 2025 and 2032.

Tickets

[edit]

Pre sales for tickets is planned to start on 19 October 2024. Tickets packages will include: venues packages for either one or both group stage venues, week long passes and tickets for the final weekend.[8]
