TheGreat Britain national bandy team represents theUnited Kingdom in internationalbandy for men since 2019. There used to be a team England in international bandy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but when Britain eventually came back to the sport, it was decided to do it under the name Great Britain.
An England national bandy team was formed in the years around 1900. It was a natural consequence of England being the birthplace ofbandy in the 19th century, bandy often being seen as the winter equivalent to eitherassociation football orfield hockey. Early international games were played against the Netherlands, Germany and France. At the time, bandy in England was administered through theNational Bandy Association.
The societal upheavals due toWorld War I then ended the interest forbandy inBritain.[1]
After almost a hundred years, a new national federation for bandy was formed. TheBandy Federation of England joined theFederation of International Bandy in 2010 and England aimed to play in theWorld Championships in the coming years. Debuting in 2018 was the goal.[2]
The federation changed names to England Bandy Federation in January 2017 and toGreat Britain Bandy Association in September 2017. The Great Britain national bandy team made its debut at the2019 Bandy World Championship in Sweden and managed to become runners-up in the B Division in its début championship tournament,[3] but could not attend the2020 World Championship in Russia due to problems getting visas for the players.[4] The early 2020s has since seen a hiatus in international play due to theCOVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, in 2025 the men's team returned to play in the Bandy World Cup.[5]
