Stand Behind the Swedish Wheelchair Floorball National Team's Continued Existence

Stand Behind the Swedish Wheelchair Floorball National Team's Continued Existence

The Issue

The Swedish Wheelchair Floorball National Team aims to participate in the internationally well-known Swiss Wheely Open tournament in Switzerland at the end of April 2024. Neither the Swedish Parasports Federation nor the regular Floorball Federation has provided any financial support whatsoever, leaving the Swedish Wheelchair Floorball National Team's funds depleted. Despite this, the team stands as the world's best, having clinched victory in ALL tournaments since the start in 2008. With the prospect of the Paralympics on the horizon, Sweden's participation is crucial to the puzzle for the development of the sport.

Did you know that there are over 3 million registered floorball players worldwide? Despite being among the elite, our team faces financial challenges that threaten their ability to compete at the highest level.

To ensure the continued development of wheelchair floorball, financial contributions are necessary to facilitate the team's participation in tournaments.

We've launched a Fundraising Campaign to gather funds and are grateful for any contribution.

If you're unable to contribute financially but wish to shed light on the issue, we urge you to sign this petition to raise awareness among the respective federations Parasport Sweden, the Swedish Floorball Federation and the International Floorball community.

Your support would mean the world to us. We need recognition and backing to remain on the international stage!

Many thanks! Head Coach Ola Piccardo
