On 24 August 2021, Sweden announced its withdrawals from the competition in Irkutsk, due to the continued threat of COVID-19; Finland and Norway had already made the same decisions earlier.[3] Subsequently, on 30 August 2021, the FIB decided to postpone the championships once again, now to March - April 2022.[4] On 24 February 2022, the [Finland's Bandy Association](/source/Finland's_Bandy_Association) announced that they would not take part in the competition due to the [Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine) that day.[5] Later on the same day, Sweden, Norway, and the United States also pulled out of the tournament.[6] The [FIB](/source/Federation_of_International_Bandy) then announced on 1 March 2022 that the tournament would be cancelled altogether due to so few countries wanting to participate.[7] ## Notes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** *Cancelled* ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["Decisions on tournaments 2021–2022"](http://www.worldbandy.com/2021/01/31/decisions-on-tournaments-2021-2022/).
