IFF Service Award
The IFF Service Award honour the work of dedicated floorball persons. Introduced in 2011 for the 25th anniversary it is handed out to persons who have given an extra ordinary service to the IFF. From the start the recipients could be persons that have acted in the IFF Central Board, IFF Committees, been International Coaches, International Referees or members of the International Referee management at IFF Events.
Since the introduction of the IFF Hall of Fame (2021) the Service Award is directed only to persons which are not players, coaches or referees. Since 2026 the new criteria for minimum term of activity were defined as listed in the below table.
