Od počátečního nadšení k následné deziluzi aneb proč florbal nezavedl nový hrací čas

This work aims to map from available sources the six-year development of the theme of the implementation of the "Future of Floorball" concept, which is mainly characterized by the introduction of a new playing time, and the attitude of the international floorball federation towards it. The opening chapters of this thesis provide an overview of the sports federation as a political organization and the influences operating in it, mainly in the form of interest groups, and the intermediate level of international floorball is also presented in detail and important actors are defined. They are followed by a qualitative content analysis of a dataset created from publicly available materials published by the International Floorball Federation. Based on subsequent research, changes in the IFF's position are revealed, interest groups that may have influenced the final decision are identified, and whether and how the influence manifested itself - i.e. a correlation is sought between the attitudes of individual groups and the result of the final decision. The result of the investigation is the identification of those interest groups that had an influence on the final result.
