Floorball was introduced to the shores of Singapore in 1994. Mr. Stefan Dahlgren was the man responsible for bringing the sport to Singapore. He introduced Floorball to the mass community by approaching People Association (PA) and Singapore Sport Council (SSC) to include Floorball activities in their programme. In 1994 SSC Family Day, Floorball was played in mixed teams and was known as “Streetbandy”. In 1996, Singapore sent its first National team to compete in the 1st World Floorball Championship (WFC) held in Sweden. It was also the first time an Asian nation competed in the WFC. The popularity of Floorball has since grown and is widely played both competitively and as a recreational sport.
The Singapore Floorball Association (SFA) was formed in 1996. It aims to encourage, develop and manage the sport of Floorball at national and international levels in Singapore. It also strives to promote Floorball to countries within the region. The association is constantly working to increase participation in Floorball and provide more playing opportunities for Singaporeans of all ages.
SFA will continue to support its national teams in international competitions such as the World Floorball Championships and Asia Pacific Floorball Championships. It is currently lobbying for Floorball to be included in major games such as the SEA Games and the Commonwealth Games. Through its efforts, SFA believes that Singapore will have the top-ranked men and women national teams in Asia.
SFA manages the development and promotion of the game to more than 15,000 players, more than 200 schools and 100 clubs. Through the organization of Singapore Floorball Leagues, National Inter-Schools tournaments, coaching courses and officiating seminars, SFA aims to promote Floorball to Singaporeans of all ages and continuously improve the standard of the sport locally.
The International Floorball Federation (IFF) is the head organisation of world floorball (innebandy, salibandy, unihockey). It was founded by Sweden, Finland and Switzerland 1986. At this moment the IFF has 54 Member Associations. IFF is a full member of IOC, an ordinary member of GAISF and cooperates with FISU.
