Men's Bandy FIB Division B World Championship 2020 has started in Irkutsk and Shelekhov.

 

Unfortunately,  has decided not to play this year,  withdrew due to circumstances regarding visa process and the excessive costs and  withdrew due to coronavirus.

 

But at least  is back this year. In 2019 Estonia won the tournament and promoted to Division A, and the Netherlands dropped to Division B.

It's hard to predict but I think there are chances to be in top-3 in Group B after Germany and Hungary. Slovakia looks like the main rival in the fight for the third place.

For women if there are no Norway team (at least its participation wasn't announced)  - 4th place. But who knows maybe the Netherlands can try to beat the USA and took the sensational bronze medals .
