The 2023 Women's Bandy World Championship (officially the 2023 Bandy World Championship) was played in Åby, a subdivision of Växjö City in Sweden between women's national bandy teams.[1][2] The competition took place from 28 March – 2 April 2023. This tournament also marked the Ukraine women's national bandy team's world debut as scheduled.[3] In 2022, the Ukraine squad was forced to withdraw from the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This world championship for women's international bandy marked a departure in the sport whereas in the past, organizers traditionally hosted the men's and women's international competitions separately, but this season saw both tournaments held at the same time and in the same venue.[4] The tournament will crown the world champions for the Women's Bandy World Championship and the men's Bandy World Championship.

Venue

All matches will be played in Eriksson Arena, Åby.

Both men's and women's games take place in Åby, a subdivision of Växjö City in Sweden
