Bolzano in floorball fever

The floorball department of SSV Bozen organized an international tournament back in 2017. The men's national teams from Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and Italy were guests at the time.

Due to the positive feedback from the teams, the officials of the International Floorball Federation (IFF) and the referees, SSV Bozen was asked to also play the qualifying games for the U19 World Championship. The U19 men from the six national teams from Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy will be guests in Bolzano from Wednesday to Sunday. Only one of these teams will qualify for the U19 World Championships in May 2019 in Halifax, Canada.

A total of 15 games will be played during the five-day qualifiers. For the Italian team – with the Bolzano athletes Gabriel Obexer and Vincent Manzardo – it will be very difficult to get their only World Cup ticket. Nevertheless, coach Marco Concli is confident: “The preparation was very good and the team has made great progress.”

Around 150 athletes and officials will be staying in Bolzano during the qualifying rounds. In addition, 15 representatives from the international and national floorball association will be present.

All games will be played in the “Palaresia” on Reschenstrasse. Admission is free.

The game plan: Program Time of day Team 1 Team 2 Wednesday, August 29th 13.00 Netherlands Hungary Wednesday, August 29th 16.00 Germany Austria Wednesday, August 29th 19.00 Italy Great Britain Thursday, August 30th 13.00 Austria Netherlands Thursday, August 30th 16.00 Great Britain Germany Thursday, August 30th 19.00 Hungary Italy Friday, August 31st 13.00 Great Britain Austria Friday, August 31st 16.00 Germany Hungary Friday, August 31st 19.00 Italy Netherlands Saturday, September 1st 12.00 Hungary Great Britain Saturday, September 1st 15.00 Netherlands Germany Saturday, September 1st 18.00 Austria Italy Sunday September 2th 9.00 Great Britain Netherlands Sunday September 2th 12.00 Hungary Austria Sunday September 2th 15.00 Italy Germany
