China Bandy Federation, CBF, was founded on 13 December 2014. The Chinese Ice Hockey Association joined the Federation of International Bandy (FIB) in 2010 and governed bandy in China until it was replaced by the CBF. The fact that the Chinese Ice Hockey Association is still listed at the official FIB website as a member of the Federation of International Bandy as of March 2016, is because that part of the homepage not having been updated since January 2012. The four latest members (three of which participated in the 2016 World Championship), Germany, Somalia, Czech Republic and Denmark have not been added either.
