Bandy is a team sport that resembles ice hockey but is played on a larger field and with a ball instead of a puck. The game is typically played on ice, and each team consists of six players, including a goalkeeper. Players use curved sticks to hit the ball and aim to score goals in the opposing team's net. Bandy is popular in countries like Sweden, Russia, and Finland. The sport is governed by the Federation of International Bandy, which organizes international competitions, including the Bandy World Championship. Bandy matches are played in two halves, and the team with the most goals at the end wins. The game emphasizes skill, teamwork, and strategy.
