This tournament also marked the Ukraine women's national bandy team's eventual world debut.

This world championship for women's international bandy marked a departure in the sport whereas in the past, organizers traditionally hosted the men's and women's international competitions separately, but this season saw both tournaments held at the same time and in the same venue.

The world's first doping detection dog was present for the tournament, an 8-year-old Springer Spaniel named Molly.

Molly was utilized to detect certain banned substances that are not allowed as per the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) prohibited list.
