The 2025 Women's World Floorball Championships will be the 15th edition of this competition. It will held from 5 to 14 December 2025 in Brno and Ostrava in the Czech Republic.[1] [2] [3] Sweden are the 7-time defending champions.
In late 2019, the Czech Floorball Federation announced they were considering bidding for either the 2023 or 2025 edition. They ended up choosing to bid for 2025 after Singapore and Thailand stated they wanted to bid for 2023 as they wanted to give a country outside of Europe a chance to host (Singapore hosted the 2023 event).[4] [5] The Czechs had also considered bidding for the 2026 Men's World Floorball Championships although this never materialised.[6]
The Czechs were given the hosting rights unopposed on 24 May 2023.[1] [7] [8] The Moravian-Silesian Region has given its financial support to this tournament.[2] Czech Floorball Federation president, Daniel Novák, said:[9]

Similar to 2013, Brno and Ostrava are the Czech venues.[1] The Czech Floorball Federation had considered using different arenas for the competition, but decided to choose the same facilities that held the 2013 edition.[5]
Chairman of the Czech National Sports Agency, Ondřej Šebek, went to Singapore during the 2023 Women's World Floorball Championships to speak at a meeting with the International Floorball Federation.[10]
On 4 April 2024, the logo was announced, showcasing a W that stands for women. The logo is about how women have limitless power and was developed for many in cooperation with Czech national team players and players from the Czech league.[11] [12] A website was also created at the same time.[13]
