FEDERATION OF INTERNATIONAL BANDY

The 'Federation of International Bandy' (FIB) is the international governing body for the sport of bandy. It was formed in 1955 in Stockholm, Sweden, and has had its base in Sweden since 1979. The present offices are situated in Katrineholm.
The federation was named the 'International Bandy Federation' (IBF) between 1957 and 2001. The current name was adopted at a request from the International Olympic Committee when the IOC made bandy a "recognized sport", since the acronym IBF was already in use by another international sport federation.
When FIB was formed in 1955, it introduced the same rules for bandy all over the world. Especially in Russia, different rules had been used prior to this. Bandy World Championships are organized for men since 1957 and for women since 2004.
