The attendance record for the Women's World Floorball Championships was broken at this year's event in Switzerland, the International Floorball Federation (IFF) has revealed.

A total of 44,513 spectators attended the tournament in Neuchâtel, which concluded with Sweden's victory in the final on Sunday (December 15).

The figure is higher than the previous record, set at the 2013 edition of the competition in the Czech Republic.

The IFF said the final between Sweden and Switzerland at the Patinoires du Littoral was sold out.

Forty-eight matches were held at the 2019 Women's World Floorball Championships, which began on December 7.

Sweden secured a seventh successive title with a 3-2 victory over Switzerland in the tournament's showpiece encounter.

Finland edged past the Czech Republic 5-4 in the bronze-medal match after Veera Kauppi scored the golden goal. 

Poland finished fifth and Germany claimed seventh place.

The next Women's World Floorball Championships are set to take place in Uppsala in Sweden in December 2021.
