IIHF World Championships · Host Regulations · Bidding Procedure · Bidding Procedure
4.1The applicant shall pay an application fee of CHF 10’000. The application fee will be invoiced by the IIHF at the time when the Bid Questionnaire is submitted, and the amount deducted from the applicant’s IIHF account.
4.2The application fee will not be refunded in case the applicant is not selected to make a Bid Presentation according to Art. 5 of this Event Code or the bid is not approved by the IIHF Congress. However, the application fee shall be kept valid for any consecutive WM bid launched by that MNA, as long as the key components to the bid (e.g., cities, venues, etc.) remain essentially unchanged.
