The day-to-day operations of the IFBA are run by the Board, a body of volunteer individuals elected by the sport's member associations.

As the vast majority of broomball players and teams are based in Canada or The USA, most of the championships to date have been held in this part of the world.

Traditionally World Championships see teams enter from Canada, United States, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, France and Australia.

Teams representing Austria, Slovenia and Germany, have also taken part but due to limited player numbers and broomball programs these nations are not able to attend each World Championship.

As part of growing and developing the sport of Broomball the IFBA has encourage the European-based member associations to hold European Nationals in the odd numbered years.
