Seven Singapore Floorballers to Train with Swedish Elite Club

Seven floorballers from Singapore have been selected to participate in a new high-performance training initiative in Sweden, underscoring the sport's growing development trajectory in the region.

The athletes will spend nine months training with Pixbo IBK, one of Sweden's leading floorball clubs, beginning in September 2026. The placement represents a strategic effort to expose Singapore's top talent to world-class coaching methodologies and competitive environments at the elite level.

Floorball, a fast-paced indoor sport similar to ice hockey, has gained increasing traction across Southeast Asia in recent years. The training programme reflects Singapore's commitment to developing competitive depth in the sport and providing elite athletes with international experience.

The initiative forms part of a broader high-performance training framework designed to strengthen Singapore's floorball capabilities. By training alongside Swedish professionals and competing in Nordic leagues, the athletes are expected to acquire advanced technical skills and tactical knowledge applicable to regional and international competition.

Details regarding athlete selection criteria and the specific support mechanisms for the programme were not immediately available.
