2023 FIB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MEN 19

Gothenburg, Sweden, 20-22 January

SWEDEN WORLD CHAMPION MEN 19 2023

After a very unusual final game it was Sweden that won the trophy. Finland scored 4-0 in the first half. But Sweden succeeded to do four goals too before half time. Finland had to play one player short due to an exclusion for the rest of the match – Rough reported penalty on Leevi Attenberg. Maybe that defeated Finland in the end, when Sweden scored 5-4.

Hungary was disqualified from the tournament due to suspected drug abuse after the first game against Finland. Therefore that result is not valid.

The tournament was continued with participating from Finland, Norway and Sweden. 

There was also a friendly game between Norway Men 19-Norway Men 17 to give all three nations 3 games each in the tournament.
