1969 Bandy World Championship

1

The 1969 Bandy World Championship was the sixth Bandy World Championship and was contested by three men's bandy playing nations. The championship was played in Sweden from 8–16 February 1969. Originally the tournament was to be arranged in Norway, but the Norwegians declined to participate and arrange the championship so Sweden had to take over. Norway did not want to be part of a tournament where the Soviet Union played, due to the Soviet and its allies invasion of Czechoslovakia the previous year. The Soviet Union won all four of its matches and became champions.
