Abstract
Floorball is a collective ball game that is rapidly spreading throughout the world. Just like in other sports, it is important to monitor match statistics for more effective management of the training process. The aim of this study is to analyze the goal and shooting situations of floorball matches at the 2022 Men's Floorball World Cup. The results showed that in 48 matches the players shot a total of 5186 and a total of 588 goals were scored. Furthermore, it was found that the most productive period in the tournament was the third (34.9 %). The most goals were scored in the last five minutes of the match (11.05 %). The team that scored the first goal in 66.67 % of the matches won. The most goals are scored from inside the goal area (34.9 %) and in front of the goal area (27.9 %). The practical implication of this study is that floorball coaches must teach the team to defend well in the area in front of the goal and to cope with the situation when the team receives the first goal.
