We are looking forward to welcoming you to the IIHF World Championship in Germany from May 7 till May 23, 2010. Together with you, we hope to turn our country into a true "Ice Hockey Republic of Germany".

Welcome also to this official website of the 2010 IIHF World Championship. You are invited to use it as your primary source for all information around this spectacular event. We recommend that you visit this site frequently for updates on the latest news and features.

The German national team will meet Team USA on May 7, 2010, at Gelsenkirchen’s football stadium VELTINS-Arena in front of a planned 75,976 people. Selling out the arena would represent a "GUINNESS WORLD RECORD (TM)". Over 60,000 tickets are already gone. Some more tickets will be available as off May 22, 2009, mainly within combined packages and hospitality offers.

In this 2nd stage, the game schedule is not yet finally confirmed, but teams are allocated to their groups and venues. Thus, preliminary round tickets for a certain group/team (starting at € 62,50) as well as qualification/relegation round tickets for a certain venue (starting at €125,50) and a first contingent of final round tickets (starting at € 189,50) are now also on offer.
