Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Team Russia withdrew from the tournament[3][4] and although the Ukraine women's national bandy team was scheduled to participate, they had to withdraw.[5][6] Team Ukraine's appearance was meant to be the Ukrainian women's bandy world debut, almost a century after women's bandy teams were first recorded to have appeared in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1927.[7]
The Great Britain women's national bandy team made its first international appearance at the 2022 world championship after its initial attempt to compete at the 2014 Women's Bandy World Championship had failed to materialize.
The 2023 Women's Bandy World Championship was to be hosted in late March and early April again in Åby in Växjö, Sweden, alongside the men's 2023 Bandy World Championship.[8]
History
editAccording to the Federation of International Bandy (FIB), the competition was postponed from its initial start date due to organizing problems in Sweden.[9] 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[10][11] and still was after the change of venue.
The new date for the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship was set for March 23-27, 2022. The Russian team withdrew and the Ukraine team had to withdraw due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Venues
editThe 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 Arena[1] a newly built bandy arena which was completed in 2019.[1] Åby/Tjureda IF, a team in the Bandyallsvenskan, the Swedish second division, normally plays there.

editEach team had a maximum of 16 players and 4 leaders.[12][13]
