The Soviet Union hosted many Bandy World Championships .
Bandy and Field Hockey Federation of the USSR (Russian: Федерация хоккея с мячом и хоккея на траве СССР) was the governing body for the sports of bandy and field hockey in the Soviet Union . The federation was governing these two sports since 1967, when ice hockey was split off to form the Soviet Union Ice Hockey Federation; ice hockey had only been introduced to the Soviet Union some twenty years earlier.
The federation was one of the founding members of the Federation of International Bandy in 1955.[1]
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991, the federation was replaced by the All Russian Bandy Federation in early 1992.[1] For field hockey, the Russian Field Hockey Federation was created in its place.
The following former states of the Soviet Union now have their own bandy federations: Russia (founded in 1992), Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan Bandy Federation , 1993), Belarus (Belarusian Bandy Federation , 1999), Estonia (Estonian Bandy Association , 2002), Kyrgyzstan (Bandy Federation of Kyrgyzstan , 2004), Latvia (Latvia's Bandy Federation , 2006), Ukraine (Ukrainian Bandy and Rink bandy Federation , 2007), and Lithuania (Lithuanian Bandy Association , 2008).
