For the first time the Women´s World Floorball Championships are played with 16 teams divided into four groups.

Switzerland is the strongest team in group A, but the 2nd placed team in this group is not that easily predicted. Both 5th ranked Russia and 8th ranked Poland have a chance to go through to the play-offs whereas the 16th ranked Netherlands is the underdog.

The play-offs are starting on December 8th and two teams from each group will play in the quarter-finals.
