Germany won the B division when the WFC was split into A and B in 2000. And they managed to hang on to their spot during 2002 and 2004. The development of floorball in Germany has not been as fast as in the Czech Republic that became members of the IFF the year before Germany (1994). The experts think that Germany will have to fight for their spot in the A-division in Sweden as Denmark has probably improved since 2004.
