In 2013, a Somalia national bandy team was formed in Borlänge, Sweden, by Somali expats. The team later participated in the 2014 Bandy World Championship in Irkutsk and Shelekhov in Russia. Six of the players took part in the Federation of International Bandy's October 2013 camp in ABB Arena, which was open to developing bandy countries. The team has continued to participate in the world championships in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
