Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia withdrew from the tournament[3] and although Ukraine was scheduled to participate, they had to withdraw.[4][5]

History

According to the Federation of International Bandy (FIB), the competition was postponed from its initial start date due to organizing problems in Sweden.[6] It was initially planned to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, January 9-16, 2022 at the newly built Gubbängen's Skating and Bandy Arena (Bandyhallen i Gubbängen in Swedish). The tournament was to be the first Women's Bandy World Championship to be played indoors[7][8] but still will be after the recent change of venue.

The new date for the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship was March 23-27, 2022.

The Russian team withdrew and the Ukraine team had to withdraw due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Venues

The 2022 Women's Bandy World Championships took place in Åby, a small community north of Växjö, in southern Sweden about 400 kilometers south of Stockholm.

The tournament was held at the Eriksson Ice Arena[1] a newly built bandy arena⁣ which was completed in 2019. Åby/Tjureda IF, a team in the Bandyallsvenskan, the Swedish second division, normally plays there.

Squads

Each team had a maximum of 16 players and 4 leaders.[9][10]

Referees

There were three main referees: Victoria Bergström (Sweden), Stephanie Johnson (USA) and Ida Salomonsson (Sweden).[11][12]

There were also six assistant referees: Elisabeth Englund, Siri Hansson, Hanna Hansson, Samuel Pettersson, Andreas Pettersson and Hannah Pettersson.
