Austria’s U18 men begin World Cham­pi­onship prepa­ra­tions at Four Nations Tour­na­ment in Latvia

Austria compete in the U18 World Championship Division I, Group A and, following last year’s sensational bronze medal in Frederikshavn, will be looking to challenge again in Székesfehérvár in April 2025. The coaching staff will now assess the players once more for the World Championship squad before forming a team for the tournament in Hungary.

The Four Nations Tournament in Jelgava is ideal for this purpose and a genuine test, with Norway and hosts Latvia both competing in the U18 top division. The two teams will take part in the 2025 IIHF U18 World Championship in April in the USA – in Frisco and Allen, Texas.

Austria’s third opponent, Denmark, will also be a direct World Championship rival in Székesfehérvár.
