IFF President Foreword Champions Cup 2014 — 30.09.2014 The International Floorball family returns once again to Zurich and Switzerland. Having staged good international events before successfully, we have high expectations on Zurich. Floorball has taken important steps forward, in order to reach our Vision and a place in the Olympic Games. The next task is to be ready for 2015, when the IOC chooses the contenders for the “short list” of sports that have a possibility to enter the 2024 Olympic Games. Concerning multi-sport events Floorball is successfully now on the World Games in August 2017 in Poland, in the city of Wroclaw. We are also on the Urban Games, in 2016 or 2017, and we will play either 3 versus 3 or 4 versus 4. It is vital we show the values that Floorball possess, showcasing Floorball with many spectators, and a good youth oriented atmosphere, continuously having all matches streamed on the internet. Concerning the Champions Cup, the stakeholders have agreed to continue for 2015-2017, keeping in mind the original objectives for the CC, increasing the visibility of the sport, having many spectators, and a financially sustainable tournament. The solution is to play the Champions Cup with still six teams, but during three days. In order to develop the marketing and sales of the CC, the stakeholders are to divide the tasks of the Champions Cup to a competition part and a marketing part, in order to have focus on the objective to increase the financial value of the tournament.
On behalf of the entire Floorball family, I greet all the participants heartily welcome to Zürich and the Champions Cup. Looking forward to seeing you and a thrilling tournament, Tomas Eriksson |
