The 2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup Finals are taking place in Winterthur, Switzerland from 8 to 12 October 2008.

The 2008 EuroFloorball Cup marks the second year in which the new name for the tournament was used (previously known as the European Cup). The tournament also marks its 16th year.

The IFF decided that the tournament will revert back to its original format, and will take place during one calendar year, instead of two.

Qualification Format

Since the top 4 nations at the 2007–08 Men's EuroFloorball Cup were from Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, the top team in that country automatically qualifies, as well as the reigning champion. 5 teams in total receive automatic qualification.

Since 5 of the 8 spots are filled, the other 3 need to be decided using regional qualification. In Group C, the runners-up to the top team in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic play for a spot in the finals. In the 2007–08 EuroFloorball Cup, both the top team in Sweden and the runners-up automatically qualified for the tournament, and therefore Group C consisted of 3 teams instead of 4. In Groups A and B, the teams are split into regions: West Europe and East Europe, respectively. The winning team in each group advances to the finals, making the total number of teams eight.

To be eligible to take part in the 2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup, teams that take place in regional qualification must capture the national title in floorball in their country. If that team does not register, then the 2nd place team can register, and so forth.

Qualifying Venues

Group A qualifications for Western Europe took place in Frederikshavn, Denmark from 13 to 17 August 2008.
Group B qualifications for Eastern Europe took place in Bratislava, Slovakia from 27 to 31 August 2008.
Group C qualifications took place in Helsinki, Finland from 22 to 24 August 2008.
