The tournament will take place in Ostrava Arena in Czechia which the country expects to draw major support from Poland as well.
"Tickets for the Slovak games were sold out within a few hours in the first sales phase. Of course, there is also large interest from Poland and our ice hockey region, which tells us that the Group B in Ostrava will be a great attraction. We are well prepared for the influx of sports fans. We are already far in the preparations because the organizing team is made up of very experienced professionals who know what they are doing. Therefore, we would like to get over the high bar from the previous 2015 IIHF WM" declared the member of the Central organizing committee, Petr Bříza.
An integral part of the preparations is the Official Fan Zone, which will be located right next to the Ostrava Arena. "We are currently working on preparations for the program, which we would like to bring closer also to foreign visitors. That is also why we are considering inviting bands from countries of participating teams to make ice hockey fans really feel like at home," added Petr Bříza.
