Sweden’s Women’s Floorball Team Starts Euro Floorball Tour 2026 with a Strong 4-0 Victory

Sweden’s women’s national floorball team began the 2026 Euro Floorball Tour with a commanding 4-0 win over the Czech Republic, the reigning silver medalists from the last World Championship. The achievement marks the debut of Peter Hörnsten as head coach, setting an optimistic tone for the team’s preparations.

The match, held in Switzerland, saw goals from Maja Viström, Moa Andersson, Tilde Sandlund, and Ellen Rasmussen, who impressively scored her 100th goal for the national team. Sweden's defense was solid throughout, with goalkeeper Lovisa Hedin instrumental in maintaining a clean sheet, preventing the Czech team from scoring.

Following this successful start, Sweden faces formidable opponents Switzerland and Finland, both of whom ranked higher than Sweden in the previous World Championship. These upcoming matches are crucial for maintaining momentum and confidence ahead of future tournaments.

From September 4 to 6, Sweden's floorball national teams are engaged in a busy competitive weekend. The senior women's team competes in Switzerland under new head coach Hörnsten, focusing on defense and improved team structure. Concurrently, the men’s team plays in the Czech Republic while the U19 teams face Finland in the Finnkampen held in Täby. These matches also serve as vital preparation for the 2026 and 2027 World Championships.

Peter Hörnsten, in his first match as women's head coach, highlighted the team’s strong defensive effort, a key strategy moving forward. Sweden’s performance in this initial Euro Floorball Tour match demonstrates a promising start under new leadership, aiming for solid results against top-tier European teams in the coming days.
