Slovakia to Face Czech Republic Again in B-Group at 2027 World Championship
Share:
Slovakia will compete against the Czech Republic in Group B at the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship after Germany, ranked seventh in the IIHF standings, replaced Slovakia in the top-tier Group A. The Germans swapped places with Slovakia, which sits eighth in the international rankings, meaning Slovakia drops from the elite group for the tournament. This ensures another Slovakia-Czech Republic matchup in Group B, continuing the rivalry between the two neighboring nations at the world championship level.
