"As at this World Championship, we will also be in the nominally tougher group compared to the other group in 2025. Our aim is to succeed against France and Slovenia and once again try to pick up points against the top nations," explains Head Coach Roger Bader.

In addition to the group-stage games, Stockholm will host two quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the game for 3rd place and the final. Herning will host the parallel group and two quarter-final games. The following teams will compete in Herning, Denmark: defending champions Czechia, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, the USA, Norway, Kazakhstan and promoted side Hungary.

The 2025 World Championship will take place from 9 to 25 May in Stockholm (SWE) and Herning (DEN). Tickets will be available from 3 October.
