World Championships
The IFBA is responsible for delivering the World Broomball Championships (also referred to by its former name, the Challenge Cup, held biennially (every two years) in various host cities. As the vast majority of broomball players and teams are based in North America, most of the championships to date have been held in North American cities. However the 1998 version was held in Bolzano, Italy, and the 2010 version was held in Innsbruck and Telfs, Austria.
The 2006 World Championships saw teams enter from Canada, United States, Italy, Japan, and Australia. Previously teams representing Finland, Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland have also taken part.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“The alcoholic trance is not just a haze, as though the eyes were also unshaven. It is not a mere buzzing in the ears, a dizziness or disturbance of balance. One arrives in the garden again, at nursery time, when the gentle animals are fed and in all the world there are only toys.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
