Floorball's Bold Move in Gold Mission

New Finnish coach for men's team in bid to restore Singapore to top of SEA Games podium
Underlining their ambition to bring back the SEA Games gold, the Singapore Floorball Association (SFA) has appointed Finnish coach Pasi Rosti to take charge of the men's team.
While the men emerged champions when floorball made its Games debut on home soil in 2015, they had to settle for a silver and a bronze in 2019 and 2023 respectively, the only other times when the sport was included in the biennial meet.
The 45-year-old Rosti, who has experience coaching teams in Finland and Germany, said he is honoured and excited to help take Singapore floorball to the next level.
The team had just won the Asia Oceania Floorball Confederation (AOFC) Cup earlier in June, but Rosti wants to raise the bar even higher as he seeks to restore the Republic to the top of the podium at the Dec 9-20 SEA Games in Thailand.
To do that, the team need to be even better because the level of opponents will be higher, he added.
