The 2007-08 Men's EuroFloorball Cup Qualifying rounds took place over August 29^th to September 9^th, 2007 in three different host nations. The winner of each group advanced to the 2007-08 Men's EuroFloorball Cup Finals, where they had a chance to win the EuroFloorball Cup for 2007-08. A total of 15 teams played in the qualifying round, all from different countries.

The 2007-08 EuroFloorball Cup marked the first year in which the new name for the tournament was used (previously known as the European Cup). The tournament also marked its 15^th year, which was a huge achievement for the International Floorball Federation.

Qualification Format

Since the top 4 nations at the 2006-07 Men's EuroFloorball Cup were from Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, the top team in that country automatically advances straight into the final round. In addition to that, the reigning champions receive automatic qualification into the final round as well. 5 teams in total receive automatic qualification.

Since 5 of the 8 spots are filled, the other 3 need to be decided using regional qualification. In Group C, the runners-up to the top team in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic play 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 Group C consisted of 3 teams instead of 4. In Groups A and 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 2007-08 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 2^nd place team can register, and so forth.
