Women's youth and national ice hockey teams debut at World Championship
The teams will start their journey in the tournament from the very bottom.

The women's national (i.e., senior) ice hockey team will begin its journey in International Federation tournaments from the very bottom, starting with the fourth division next year, reports the Telegram channel "Hockey Exotica."
The debutants' opponents will be the national teams of Singapore, Iran, and India. Argentina and Malaysia submitted applications but will not debut this year.
Previously, the Belarusian women's national team assembled irregularly, without playing international matches. From 2010 to 2013, the club "Pantera" existed in Minsk, representing the country in the European Women's Champions Cup.
A youth ice hockey team will also be established. It will start in the third division. Its opponents will be the national teams of Lithuania, Thailand, Iran, and Bulgaria.

The date and venue for the tournament will be determined in autumn at the next Congress of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Bulgaria and Lithuania have submitted bids to host the tournament.
Belarusian hockey, like Russian hockey, has been under a hockey ban since February 2022, following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, using Belarusian territory. Belarusian national teams have not participated in international competitions, such as World Championships, since spring 2022.
Today, it seems, the return of Belarusian hockey to the world stage has begun. Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarov announced that the Disciplinary Board of the International Ice Hockey Federation has annulled the IIHF Council's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian teams from the 2026/27 season competitions.
Thus, a decision was made regarding the return of the Belarusian junior national team (players under 18) to the World Championship.
However, the youth and national men's teams will not play in the World Championships next year.
