Facts and history The 2009 Men's U-19 World Floorball Championships were the first men's over-19 floorball championships that were held in the month of May, after the
International Floorball Federation (IFF) changed their international tournament calendar format in 2008. Previously, the tournament was hosted in the months of either October or November.
Sweden came into the tournament as two-time defending champions, after having won the world championship in both
2005 and
2007. The Swedish team had also previously won a championship in
2001, but did not defend their title in
2003, as they would lose in the final to rivals,
Finland. The
Czech Republic,
Finland,
Sweden, and
Switzerland remain the only teams to have captured a women's under-19 world floorball championship medal. ==Championship results==
