The '''2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup Finals''' were held in [[Winterthur]], Switzerland from 8 to 12 October 2008.

It was the 16th running of the tournament known earlier as the European Cup. In 2008 the tournament returned to an annual format rather than every two years.

==Qualification Format==
The reigning champion and the national champion teams of the top 4 nations at the [[2007–08 EuroFloorball Cup]] automatically qualify. In 2008 the nations were [[Sweden]], Finland, [[Switzerland]], and the [[Czech Republic]].

The remaining three teams are decided in regional neats. In [[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Helsinki, Finland|Group C]], the runners-up to the top team in [[Sweden]], Finland, [[Switzerland]], and the [[Czech Republic]] played 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 [[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Helsinki, Finland|Group C]] consisted of 3 teams instead of 4. In Groups [[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Frederikshavn, Denmark|A]] and [[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Bratislava, Slovakia|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 EuroFloorball Cup|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==
[[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Frederikshavn, Denmark|Group A]] qualifications for Western Europe took place in [[Frederikshavn]], Denmark from 13 to 17 August 2008.<br>
[[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Bratislava, Slovakia|Group B]] qualifications for Eastern Europe took place in [[Bratislava]], Slovakia from 27 to 31 August 2008.<br>[[2008 Men's EuroFloorball Cup qualifying#Helsinki, Finland|Group C]] qualifications took place in [[Helsinki]], Finland from 22 to 24 August 2008.
