The 2024 IIHF World Championship was hosted by Czechia from 10 to 26 May 2024.[2] It was held in Prague and Ostrava, and organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

Hosts Czechia won the title for the seventh time, beating Switzerland 2–0 in the final. Czechia ended their 14-year gold drought after winning it for the first time since 2010.[3] Sweden won the bronze medal game, defeating Canada 4–2 in the third place match.[4]

Bids

According to the agreement of the IIHF in Malta, the 2024 World Championship was held in Czechia. Prague and Ostrava were officially announced as venues of the championship on 24 May 2019 in Bratislava, Slovakia. Originally, it was assumed that the World Championship would be held in Brno, as it was supposed to contribute to a new hockey hall. Martin Urban, general secretary of the hockey association, confirmed the possibility of holding the tournament in Brno only if a new hall was built. The last IIHF World Championship in Czechia was also held in Prague and Ostrava in 2015.
