Finland become runners-up in Women's Floorball Championship

Finland had to satisfied with the runners-up trophy in the Women's World Floorball Championships (WFC) as the team lost to Sweden by 4-6 goals at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sunday.

Sweden held off a late charge from an inspired Finland to clinch a record-extending ninth straight WFC title, said Full Circle Public Relations in a press release.

The final day of the 2023 WFC also featured exhilarating battles and heated contests in the play-off matches.

Czech Republic, who placed fourth at the last five editions of the WFC, won a rollercoaster match as they edged out Switzerland 5-4 to finish third this year and match their best WFC result, which they achieved in 2011.

Slovakia defeated Poland 7-4 to finish in fifth place while Latvia came from behind for a 6-4 win to finish seventh.

The 2023 WFC is only the second time that the biennial event is held outside of Europe – the first time was in 2005, when it was hosted in Singapore as well.
