2013 IIHF World Championship

At the semi-annual congress in Vancouver on 21 September 2007, Sweden was voted the host of the 2013 tournament, defeating the runner-up Belarus by 55 votes. Other countries in the running were Hungary, Czech Republic and Latvia (which withdrew from the race and endorsed the Swedish bid).^[5] At the congress in Bern in 2009, it was announced that Finland (the host for the 2012 World Championship) and Sweden would co-host both the 2012 and 2013 tournaments.^[6]

Kimmo Leinonen served as the general secretary of the jointly-hosted events.^[7]

Ericsson Globe Capacity: 12 500	Stockholm Helsinki	Hartwall Areena Capacity: 13 506
Stockholm		Helsinki

The host arenas were the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm (12,500 permitted seats) and Hartwall Areena in Helsinki (13,506 permitted seats). Capacity has been limited to these numbers because of modern health and safety rules. Malmö Arena was originally planned to be the second arena, but because of a proposal made by the Finnish federation, the games were transferred to Helsinki, which gave the arena the opportunity to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.^[8] Tampere was also a candidate to be the Finnish venue, but due to a delay in construction of the new Tampereen Keskusareena, Helsinki was named as co-host.^[9] Also in Stockholm, the Tele2 Arena, a new retractable-roof multi-purpose stadium seating 30,000 spectators on the side of the Globen, was planned to host at least one game, but due to construction delays it would not be finished until July 2013, two months after the World Championship.^[10][11]

The format of the tournament was the same as in 2012, which was also co-hosted by Helsinki and Stockholm. Sixteen teams were divided into two groups of eight, who played a seven-game round-robin within their groups. The top four teams in each group advanced to a three-round single-knockout playoff.

The only difference from 2012 was that the final games were played in Stockholm instead of Helsinki.

Each team's roster consisted of at least 15 skaters (forwards and defencemen) and two goaltenders, and at most 22 skaters and three goaltenders. All sixteen participating nations, through the confirmation of their respective national associations, had to submit a roster by the first IIHF directorate meeting.

The IIHF selected 16 referees and 16 linesmen to work the 2013 IIHF World Championship. They were the following:^[12]

The seeding in the preliminary round is based on the 2012 IIHF World Ranking, which ended at the conclusion of the 2012 IIHF World Championship. The teams were grouped according to seeding (in parentheses is the corresponding world ranking). However, Russia and the Czech Republic swapped their slots between their groups to optimize the seeding for the Finnish-Swedish organizers.^[13]
