The Philippines men's national floorball team is the national floorball team of the Philippines and is organized by the Philippine Floorball Association.

History[]

Malaysia vs. Philippines at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

The men's national team made their debut at the 2014 Southeast Asian Floorball Championships which was hosted in Singapore.[1][2] The Philippines lost all its four games at its first tournament against the national teams of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.[3]

The Philippines participated in the inaugural 2017 Asia Oceania Floorball Confederation Tournament in Bangkok[4] with no prior victory in an international floorball match.[5] Their 4–3 win over China on July 1, 2017 in the continental tournament became their first victory in an international floorball match.[6] They planned to enter the qualifiers of the 2018 World Floorball Championships,[6][5] but did not compete in the end.

The 2019 Asia Oceania Floorball Confederation Tournament was hosted at home in Biñan with the Philippines recruiting Filipinos with links to Sweden in a bid to improve their performance.[7] They finished bronze by beating South Korea in the third place play off.[8]

They entered the Asia-Oceania qualifiers for the 2020 World Floorball Championship but withdrew amidst concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] However, they were given a wildcard berth for the world championship following the withdrawal of Australia and Japan allowing them to participate in the tournament for the very first time.[10] They fail to progress to the first playoff round, losing to Estonia and Canada but managed to secure a win against Singapore.[11][12] The Philippines won against the United States to advance to the 13th place playoff.[13] They lost to Thailand in penalties settling for 14th place.[14]
