The 2024 IIHF World Championship was hosted by Czechia from 10 to 26 May 2024. It was held in Prague and Ostrava, and organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation.
Hosts Czechia won the title for the seventh time, beating Switzerland 2–0 in the final. Czechia ended their 14-year gold drought after winning it for the first time since 2010. Sweden won the bronze medal, defeating Canada 4–2 in the third place match. This tournament marked the first time since 2014 that all three medalists were European teams.
Bids
According to the agreement of the IIHF in Malta, the 2024 World Championship was held in Czechia. Prague and Ostrava were officially announced as venues of the championship on 24 May 2019 in Bratislava, Slovakia. Originally, it was assumed that the World Championship would be held in Brno, as it was supposed to contribute to a new hockey hall. Martin Urban, general secretary of the hockey association, confirmed the possibility of holding the tournament in Brno only if a new hall was built. The last IIHF World Championship in Czechia was also held in Prague and Ostrava in 2015.
Rosters
Each team's roster consisted of at least 15 skaters (forwards and defencemen) and two goaltenders, and at most 22 skaters and three goaltenders. All 16 participating nations, through the confirmation of their respective national associations, had to submit a "Long List" no later than two weeks before the tournament, and a final roster by the Passport Control meeting prior to the start of the tournament.
Marketing
According to estimates, fans' spending during the championship could reach two billion CZK. The medal weighing 250 grams with cut glass was produced by the Kolektiv Ateliers studio in Nový Bor. As in the previous Czech World Championship 2015, the mascots were announced as rabbit duo Bob and Bobek. For this tournament, they have blue jerseys instead of their previous red, with their numbers 20 and 24 corresponding to the year of the event. The total attendance was 797,727 viewers, it broke the audience record of World Championship 2015.
