The '''2023 Bandy World Championship''' was an international [[bandy]] tournament between bandy playing nations. The tournament was played in [[Åby, Växjö Municipality|Åby]], a subdivision of [[Växjö Municipality|Växjö City]] in [[Sweden]]. Two separate tournaments for men's national teams and women's national teams took place.<ref>[https://www.worldbandy.com/2022/12/22/world-championship-back-on-the-international-arena/ WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BACK IN 2023 – FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN!]</ref> This [[Bandy World Championship]] marked an important development for the sport at the international level. For the first time the men's world championships took place at the same time and in the same arena as the [[Women's Bandy World Championship]] which served as the international female equivalent for the sport known as the [[2023 Women's Bandy World Championship]]. This article deals chiefly with the men's world competition.
According to original plans, the 2023 championship tournament would have been hosted by [[Russia]], but since Russia is excluded from international play due to the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]], the idea was brought forward during autumn of 2022 that a world championship should be arranged in Sweden instead. With the permission of the [[Federation of International Bandy]], the [[Swedish Bandy Association]] therefore sent an invitation, in the form of an inquiry of interest, to all countries which at the [[2019 Bandy World Championship]] qualified to compete in the A Division of the next world championship, except Russia. Countries invited are thus [[Finland]], [[Norway]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[United States]], [[Germany]], [[Estonia]], and [[Hungary]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.bandypuls.se/2022-09-23/forbundet-herr-vm-2023-kan-spelas-i-sverige |title= Förbundet: Herr-VM kan spelas i Sverige |language= Swedish|publisher= Bandypuls |date= 2022-09-23 |access-date= 2022-10-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://svenskbandy.se/nyheter/2022/herr-vm-i-bandy-kan-spelas-i-sverige-2023 |title= Herr-VM i bandy kan spelas i Sverige 2023 |language= Swedish|publisher= Swedish Bandy Association |date= 2002-09-23 |access-date= 2022-10-23}}</ref>
The national men's bandy teams from Latvia and Estonia decided not to participate in the 2023 tournament. Other member national bandy federations which had previously competed but would not compete in 2023 stated costs as the main factor preventing them from participating in the event.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
No A Division of a world championship has been played since 2019, which is why the qualification at that year's championship has been the basis for the invitations. In 2020 the A Division was cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] and in 2021 there was no world championship at all for the same reason. The [[2022 Bandy World Championship]] was to be played in Russia, but it was cancelled since most countries did not want to play in or against Russia following the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. Four national teams decided to withdraw after the invasion began.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1133352/world-bandy-championships-2023 |title=Men's and women's teams confirmed for 2023 Bandy World Championships |website=insidethegames.biz |author=Michael Houston |date=5 February 2023|access-date=7 March 2023|publisher=[[Inside the Games]] |language=en}}</ref>
