2016 FIRS Women's Roller Hockey World Cup

The 2016 FIRS Women's Roller Hockey World Cup or Iquique 2016 was the 13th edition of the women's roller hockey world cup. It is held in Iquique, Chile from September 24 to October 1, 2016, and it was contested by thirteen teams. Spain defeated Portugal in the final to win the World Cup. == Group stage == === Group A === The match between Italy and Colombia ended in a 1–1 tie, giving both teams 1 point. However, as Italy won on the shootout, they are awarded an advantage against Colombia for tie-breaker purposes. === Group B === === Group C === == Play-off stages == In order to determine the order of draws during the play-offs stages, the following criteria are used: Group winners are placed in spots 1, 2 and 3, depending on their results in the group stage. Group runners-up are placed in spots 4, 5 and 6, depending on their results in the group stage. The two best third-placed teams are placed in spots 7 and 8, depending on their results in the group stage. The worst third-placed team and the fourth and fifth-placed teams failed to qualify to quarterfinals and, therefore, are forced to play and alternate play-off to determine places 9th to 13th. Also, the following changes are made to the group stage for ordering purposes: For the teams in Group A, all results involved the fifth-placed team (Egypt) will be not counted, in order to calculate results in a 4-team group. All victories (if necessary) are reduced to only 6 goals of difference, in order to prevent scoring many goals against weaker teams to opt for better spots in play-offs. === Teams ranking for play-off === === Final stage === Quarterfinals 5th-8th place play-off Semifinals 7th-8th place match 5th-6th place match 3rd-4th place match Final === 9th-13th place play-off === Since Brazil and Egypt (Group A), United States and India (Group C) have already played each other in the group stage, its result was counted again in the play-off stage. == Final ranking == == See also == FIRS Women's Roller Hockey World Cup == References == == External links == Official website Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports
