Plyushchev commented on IIHF's decision to host the 2021 World Hockey Championship in Latvia

“I cannot say whether this decision is correct or not.

Here the executive committee or the congress accepted some things.

They checked all sites for readiness and made this decision.

At least, Latvia itself did not accept such forms.

Now the situation is quite difficult due to the pandemic.

Perhaps this is the reason ", - quotes Plyushcheva Sport24.

The World Championship will take place in Riga from May 21 to June 6.

Initially, the tournament was also supposed to be hosted by Belarus.

Earlier it was reported that Latvia became the sole host of the 2021 Ice Hockey World Cup.
