Background
On March 14, 2019, it was announced that Gothenburg would be the host city.[1] It was to be the first time that Gothenburg has hosted the tournament (having previously hosted the Senior IIHF World Championships twice in 1981 and 2002), and the seventh time that Sweden had hosted the tournament.
On September 17, 2020, the IIHF announced that the 2022 tournament would instead be hosted by Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta as compensation for the 2021 tournament (which was originally to be hosted by both cities) being held behind closed doors exclusively in Edmonton due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will mark the 15th time that Canada has hosted the tournament. Gothenburg was re-assigned the 2024 tournament.[2][3] It will mark the fourth time Edmonton has hosted the tournament, and the second time games have been hosted in Red Deer, following the 1995 edition.
All spectators must present proof of full vaccination in order to attend.[4]
