Event Notes: Finland, Belarus/Latvia To Bid For 2021 Ice Hockey World Championship

The 2017 Int'l Ice Hockey Federation Annual Congress in May in Cologne will decide which countries will host the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. Finland wants to bring the World Championship back to Tampere and Helsinki while the other application is a joint bid of Minsk, Belarus, and Riga, Latvia. The proposed dates of both bids are May 7-23, 2021 (IIHF).

The Philippines Basketball Federation (SBP) submitted to FIBA a formal proposal to host the 2023 FIBA World Cup on Wednesday. FIBA traditionally has assigned the hosting of the World Cup, or the World Championship as it was previously called, to one country. But FIBA has "relaxed that rule," allowing multiple nations to host the event. SBP has decided to team up with the Indonesian Basketball Association (PERBASI) for the joint hosting, a "prudent move given that Indonesia is building new facilities" for the 2018 Asian Games that can be used for the World Cup (ABS-CBN NEWS, 1/18).
