The 2024 Men's World Floorball Championships will be the 15th edition of this competition. It will be held from 7 to 15 December 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. Sweden are the two-time defending champions. Malmö has already hosted group stage of 2006 Championships.

These two nations applied.[1][2]

The bids were considered very closely matched and thus the evaluation report was considered a draw, although 9/12 people who are involved in different aspects of the IFF gave Singapore the edge.[5]

Originally, the hosts were going to be announced in November 2020 but was postponed in order to learn more details about each bid.[5] Sweden was given the hosting rights on 23 February 2021 after beating Singapore in a bidding process that the IFF called very close.[6][7]

Final draw

[edit]
