Czech Republic women's national floorball team (Czech: Česká ženská florbalová reprezentace) is the national floorball team of Czech Republic.
The team has participated in all World and European Championships to date. Its best result is a second-place finish at the home championship in 2025.[2] They also won two two bronze medals from the World Championships in Switzerland in 2011 and in Singapore in 2023.[3] In the medal ranking, the team is therefore in fourth place, behind Switzerland and ahead of Norway. Since 2009, the Czech women have always reached the semifinals at the championships.[4] In the IFF World Ranking, they are third (behind Finland and ahead of Switzerland), after finishing fourth and third at the last two championships in 2021 and 2023.[5]
Milestones of the National Team
The Czech women's national floorball team played its first match at the first and only Women's European Championships in 1995. It was a winning match against Latvia.[6]
Their first success at a major international tournament came in 2006 in Prague at the first Euro Floorball Tour (EFT), where they drew with Switzerland, the reigning world champions at the time.[7] They earned their first draw against Sweden also at the EFT in 2008[8] and against Finland a year later.[9]
At the World Championships, they fought for medals for the first time in 2009, after achieving their first-ever victory over Norway in the tournament's history.[10][11] They won their first bronze medal at the next World Championships in 2011. In the third-place match, they defeated Switzerland for the first time at a World Championship.[12]
They beat Finland for the first time at the Polish Cup in 2013 and then again at the EFT later that same year.[13][14] In 2014 in Prague, they won their first silver medal at the EFT after victories over Finland and Switzerland.[15]
They defeated Sweden for the first time at the EFT in September 2023 and earned their second silver medal at the tournament.[16] At the World Championships in the same year, they claimed their second bronze medal, thereby matching Norway in fourth place in the all-time medal standings.[17]
