German stamp, 2010

Four nations, all located in Europe placed formal bids to host the 2010 IIHF World Championship. Those nations were:

• Germany
• Belarus
• Sweden
• Slovakia

Slovakia and Sweden withdrew from bidding before voting began in order to apply for the 2011 World Championship. All four nations to bid on the 2010 World Championship later received winning bids. Slovakia won the bid to host the 2011 IIHF World Championship, Sweden won its bid to host in 2012, but this decision was later switched to be the joint host of the 2012, and 2013 IIHF World Championship editions (both with Finland), and Belarus to host the 2014 IIHF World Championship.

After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by IIHF president René Fasel on May 15, 2005, from Zürich, Switzerland. Belarus' bidding cities Minsk and Zhodzina received 18 votes to Germany's 89, thus finalizing Germany's successful bid.

Germany vs. US Match In Veltins-Arena

The opening game of the 74th IIHF World Championship took place at Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen on 7 May between Germany and the United States. On this occasion, the stadium's planned configuration would allow for a capacity of 76,152. This figure is higher than the past ice hockey attendance World Record held by Michigan State University, which was 74,554.

It was announced at the second intermission by Guinness World Records spokesman Christian Teufe, that not only had the Gelsenkirchen game passed the world record, but had exceeded it by over 3,000 individuals. The official attendance according to the IIHF, and confirmed by the Guinness World records, was 77,803. Both Eric Nystrom and David Moss, who were playing for the United States, had also played in the Michigan State game in 2001, making them the only people to have played both world record games.

The noise inside the stadium was considerably loud, due to the German football chants, whistles and drums, which according to Ryan Carter of Team USA left the Americans frustrated at the inability to communicate. Carter also said that the "crowd was definitely the seventh man in this game for Germany". Also notable about the game was that it was the first time in over 17 years of international hockey competition that Germany had defeated the United States, with Felix Schütz scoring the game winner in overtime, on Scott Clemmensen, for a 2–1 final score. The previous win was on the 25th of April 1993, also in Germany in Dortmund, during the 1993 World Championship when Germany beat the United States 6–3.

The President of Germany, Horst Köhler, along with other politicians were present for the match.

Every team kept the points from preliminary round matches against teams who also advanced. The teams played a single round robin, but not played against teams which they already met in preliminary groups.

The top four teams in both groups E and F advanced to the Playoff Round.
