The Finnish national team secured a ninth-place finish at the Box Lacrosse World Championships held in Utica, USA. A total of 28 teams competed in the men's division. Despite high expectations heading into the tournament, Finland narrowly lost to Israel by one goal, missing out on a top-8 spot. In the placement games, Finland achieved satisfying victories over Australia and Germany, ultimately securing 9th place in the final standings. Although the team finished lower than in previous championships, considering the expanded tournament and the overall higher level of play, this ninth-place finish can be seen as an excellent result for Finland.
