The Bandy World Championship Y-21 is a Youth Bandy World Championship up to the age of 21 years. Usually, only the core bandy playing nations take part. The designation is sometimes given as U-21 instead of Y-23 or U-23, probably as a way to compare it to the U-21 competitions in association football (indeed, the UEFA European Under-21 Championship was originally for under-23 teams).

History

The first two Bandy World Championships Y-23 were held in 1990 and 1992, but after this initial period, a long period existed whereby the Y-23 championship wasn't held. It was taken up again in 2011 and has been held biannually ever since.

The Russian Y23 team won the 2013 World Championship Y23, which was held in Obukhovo, Moscow Oblast, Russia. The competition ran from December 6–8. Russia defeated Sweden in the final and Finland beat Norway for the bronze medals. Kazakhstan also participated.^[1]^[2]^[3]

-The Bandy World Championship Y-21 stands as a testament to the dynamic and evolving nature of youth sports in the world of bandy. Designed exclusively for players up to the age of 21, this championship showcases the prowess of the emerging generation in the core bandy-playing nations. The unique nomenclature, using Y-21 instead of U-23, reflects an interesting parallel to the terminology used in association football, specifically the U-21 category. This nomenclature might be a nod to the widely recognized UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which initially catered to under-23 teams. The decision to focus on the youth demographic emphasizes the importance of nurturing talent from an early age, ensuring the continuity of excellence and skill development in the global bandy community. By providing a platform for these young athletes, the Bandy World Championship Y-21 not only showcases their abilities but also contributes to the rich tapestry of international bandy competition.{{Multiple issues|
