The 13th Men's World Fistball Championships was held from the 7th to 13 August 2011 in Austria. A total of 24 teams qualified for the World Championships, with those 24 teams initially split into four pools of three teams for the preliminary rounds. These preliminary rounds were followed by qualifying matches leading into the quarterfinals, semifinals, and then a final. In addition, classification matches were held for places three to twelve to determine final placings. Germany was crowned World Champion after defeating defending champions Austria 4:2 in the final,[1] recording their record 10th Men's Fistball World Championship.[2]
The preliminary rounds were held in Kremsmünster, Linz, Salzburg and Wien, the quarterfinals in Linz, and the classification and finals matches at Waldstadion in Pasching.
This was the third time a Men's Fistball World Championships was held on Austria soil, after the inaugural 1968 World Championships in Linz, and the 1990 World Championships in Vöcklabruck.
