 Composition of groups confirmed
 
The groups for Prague and Ostrava are based on the World Ranking taking into consideration organizational wishes by the 2024 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Organizing Committee. “Thanks to the fact that the Czechs and Slovaks were already in different groups, we were able to address another group change wish " Jan Černý, General Secretary of the Czech Ice Hockey Association and Sport Director of the 2024 IIHF WM praises the composition of the groups.
 
Host Czechia will play Canada - the defending champion, Finland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Austria and Great Britain in Group A in Prague.
 
Ostrava will host Group B that includes the USA, Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, Latvia, France, Kazakhstan and Poland. Poland is returning to the elite after 22 years: "Poles are big sports enthusiasts so we believe that they will not miss this historic event for Polish ice hockey," says Jan Černý.

Ticket sales will start in autumn 
 
The 2024 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship tickets will go on sale in October.
As in the past, only daily ticket packages for two or three games on the particular game day in Prague or Ostrava will be available from the beginning. "We are currently working intensively on the final pricing policy, but it is already possible to say that the daily packages of the first category will range from 2,000 to 5,000 CZK (approx. 85 to 215 EUR) and the second from 1,500 to 4,500 CZK (approx. 65 to 190 EUR). The first category corresponds to the 1st floor of the Prague Arena and all sectors of the Ostrava Arena except for the corners A1, A5, B1 and B5, which fall into the second category. In Prague Arena, a fourth floor is planned as part of the second price category. In both venues, we will also offer a third price category in the range of CZK 1,000 to 3,000 (approx. 40 to 125 EUR) which will correspond to the highest rows in the arenas," Petr Bříza, President of the Organizing Committee of the Czech Ice Hockey Association for the 2024 IIHF WM, presented the ticket price frameworks.
  
Draw for priority purchase of tickets
  
Interest in tickets to the 2024 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship held in Czechia is traditionally enormous, as evidenced by the high attendances in 2004 and 2015. The organizers therefore came up with a novelty this year which will offer fans the opportunity to secure tickets in advance, with a draw for the priority right to purchase tickets, which will take place in the autumn. "We were inspired by the Olympic Games, the Rugby World Cup or the last IIHF Ice Hockey Championship in Tampere and Riga. The goal of the draw is to provide the ice hockey audience with an equal opportunity to get tickets. This will apply not only to Czech fans, but also to foreign fans. The winner will be able to buy one to six tickets according to their preference in the first and second price categories. With the draw, we also want to dilute the great interest that we expect at the beginning of the sale," Petr Bříza explains the form of the competition and its goals.
 
In the first phase, all interested fans will first register on (2024.iihfworlds.com), which will be active from 20 July. Participants can only register once using their email address and phone number. In the second phase, the participants will be invited via email to select up to three preferred teams and respective game days.
 
In the second half of September, a lottery will take place, on the basis of which the participants will find out whether they have obtained the possibility of priority purchase. "The winners will have a total of five days to buy tickets. We expect to open the priority purchase of tickets in the first half of October. Winners cannot reserve the tickets; they need to be paid after selection using the selected payment method. Of course, it is up to everyone whether and to what extent they would like to benefit from the successful draw. Approximately 20% of the sales capacity of the arena will be allocated to the draw on each game day of the preliminary round. After that, as part of the traditional sale, we will release another wave of tickets. In case that luck does not smile on someone in the competition, they will have the opportunity to purchase tickets also in the subsequent public sale. We would like to present a complete price overview of all types of tickets at the end of the summer, when we will already know the game schedule," explains Petr Bříza.
  
Official ticket sales will begin after the end of the ticket draw, i.e. in the first half of October. "We believe that this form, which is currently widely used, will also be attractive to our fans. We would like to meet the attendance of 2015. Fans from all over the world associate Prague and Ostrava with packed arenas and an unforgettable atmosphere and, we would like to confirm that next year," concludes Petr Bříza.
 
Ticket draw phases: 
1st Phase – Registration of participants: via 2024.iihfworlds.com from 20 July 2023
2nd Phase – Choice of teams and specific games: until 15 September 2023
3rd Phase – Drawing and contacting the winners: second half of September 2023 
4th Phase – Advance tickets sale for the winners: first half of October 2023

:SVK federation officially announced a couple of minutes ago that just like last year this time again no slovak KHL player/coach will be invited to the team for the upcoming world championships

We have currently 9 players in the KHL (yep, so many... :rolleyes:) so none of this list will be in May in Ostrava (and hopefully also in Prague :p)

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
