Veikkaus partners with the sport marred by betting scandal - this is how the company justifies it

The Finnish Floorball Federation has signed a comprehensive partnership with the state betting company Veikkaus, which will be the main partner for the men's World Championships in December 2026, despite a major betting scandal that affected floorball in the past year.

The Finnish Floorball Federation announced on Monday that it has made a comprehensive partnership agreement with the state gambling company Veikkaus, which will serve as the main partner for the upcoming men's World Championships to be held in Tampere this December. The agreement comes in the wake of a significant betting scandal that erupted last year involving various players and officials within Finnish floorball, resulting in a deep investigation into illegal betting practices that violated the leagueโ€™s rules and agreements.
