# Kazakhstan national bandy team

The Kazakh national bandy team has been representing Kazakhstan in the Bandy World Championships since 1995. Kazakhstan finished third in 2003, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In 2011 and 2012 they lost the semifinals after extra-time. In 2025 they will, contrary to plan, not participate, because the responsible ministry declined to provide financial support.
Kazakhstan won the 2011 Asian Winter Games.
The participation in the rink bandy tournament of the first CIS festival for national sports and games in 2017, Фестиваль национальных видов спорта и игр государств — участников Содружества Независимых Государств, resulted in third place.
