The 2023 Women's World Floorball Championships was the 14th edition of this competition. It was held from 2 to 10 December 2023 in Singapore, marking the first time since the 2005 that the event was held outside Europe. Sweden were the 8-time defending champion, and they made it nine with a 6âÂÂ4 win over Finland in the final.
The tournament was criticized by sports journalists outside the host country due a low local promotion and consequently a very low ticket sales. Despite this, it was considered a success by the IFF.
Singapore and Thailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023, while Czech Republic chose to focus on a bid for 2025 after initially confirming an interest for 2023. When the application window ended, only Singapore made an official bid.
Singapore was awarded the hosting rights on 11 December 2020.
Thirteen nations returned from 2021. Italy and Thailand both failed to qualify after receiving wildcards for 2021, while Russia was banned from taking part due to its invasion of Ukraine. Those returning were Australia and Japan after withdrawing from 2021, while France made their World Championship debut.
Two arenas were used, OCBC Arena and Singapore Indoor stadium, both within the Singapore Sports Hub.
The draw took place on 6 April 2023 in the Park Royal in Singapore. The pots were based on the IFF rankings.
The schedule was announced on 25 May 2023. Times are SGT (UTC+8).
