Facts and history
The 2009 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships are the first men's under-19 floorball championships that will be held in the month of May, after the International Floorball Federation (IFF) changed their international tournament calendar format last year. Previously, the tournament was hosted in the months of either October or November.
The tournament is also the first under-19 world floorball championships in which a North American team (Canada) will participate in. In addition to that, it is also the first in which qualifying was needed in order to determine the teams in the B-Division. Hungary and Russia qualified to play in the tournament after finishing in the top 2 during the 2009 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships Qualifying, which took place in Kartal, Hungary from 10 to 14 September 2008.
