SINGAPORE, 3 December 2023 – Hosts Singapore have secured at least a top 12 finish at the Women’s World Floorball Championships (WFC) 2023 on Sunday (Dec 3) as the second day of the tournament saw closer score lines and tantalising floorball action at the OCBC Arena.
World No. 13 Singapore came from behind again to secure a 4-2 win over world No. 11 Australia, courtesy of goals from Amanda Yeap, Siti Nurhaliza Khairul Anuar, Yee Yun Shawn and Mindy Lim. With their second win in as many games, the home team are guaranteed a top-two finish in Group C, alongside Germany who recorded another dominant 10-1 win over France, and a spot in the quarter-finals play-offs. Singapore and Germany will face off on Tuesday to determine the group winners.
In the Group D opener, Japan recorded their first win over Denmark as captain Yui Goto inspired her side to a narrow 3-2 victory to the delight of the Japanese fans in the crowd, who were donning colourful costumes in support of their team. In Group A, WFC 2021 runners-up Finland put themselves in prime position to advance to the quarter-finals with a 9-5 win over closest group rivals Switzerland. The top two of the group progress to the next stage and Finland are now top with four points, followed by the Swiss and Norway (two points each) while Latvia (0 points) are bottom.
The results from Dec 3 are as follows.
