Today, the 10th of May, the Latvian national ice hockey team begins its journey in the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. In their opening game, our team will face off against France. The match is scheduled to start at 21:20 Latvian time and will take place in Stockholm, Sweden.
Let us not forget that just two years ago, the Latvian team achieved a historic bronze medal – the first of its kind in our hockey history. That achievement inspired the entire nation and proved our ability to compete with the world’s best.
We encourage all hockey fans to stand with our team – whether in the arena or in front of your screens. Put on the red-white-red, get your fan scarves ready, and cheer loudly for our team! Let the chant “Latvija! Latvija!” ring out from the heart!
We wish Team Latvia success, strength, and the spirit of victory in this championship!
