Logo
The logo was intentionally similar to the 2022 Men's World Floorball Championships due to the local organisers thinking the 2022 logo has positive connotations.[8] The IFF was skeptical of the decision. This event is the first in a proposed plan by the Swiss to hold many floorball tournaments in Switzerland between 2025 and 2032.
Tickets
Pre sales for tickets is planned to start on 19 October 2024. Tickets packages will include: venues packages for either one or both group stage venues, week long passes and tickets for the final weekend.[9]
