The first Bandy World Championships for men took place in 1957 in Stockholm, Sweden. The tournament was organised by the International Bandy Federation (FIB) and consisted of five teams: Sweden, Finland, Norway, USSR, and the United States. The USSR won the tournament, defeating Finland in the final. The 1957 tournament was the first of many successful Bandy World Championships, which have continued to be held every four years since then.
