The confirmation of this change of plans was done this morning by Mr. Harro Strucksberg to ERG Iserlohn president, Ralf Henke.
According to Iserlohn website Argentina
and Colombia lost the the application process, despite the great efforts by CIRH governing body. Thusthe competition returned to Europe, to Iserlohn. Ralf Henke doesn't want to appoint more reasons for the host city change, but is sure that they want to welcome both Argentines and Colombians national teams.
40 years after the Senior Championship of 1973 in Iserlohn, finally the Forest City will host a roller hockey major event again . We, fans would like to see, almost all the next list of countries at the world cup:
- From Europe: Spain (actual champion), Portugal, France, Italy, Netherlands, Andorra, England, Switzerland,Austria, Israel (hopefully).
- From America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and USA.
- From Asia: India, Japan and Macau
- From Africa: Egypt, Angola, Mozambique and South Africa
- From Oceania: Australia and New Zealand.
"But
it also means that now a lot of work in the next ten months, waiting
for us," Henke also know that with the commitment by the FIRS great
responsibility rests on the shoulders of the Germans. Because the cycle of - the last World Cup was held in Portuguese Barcelos - actually the South Americans would have their turn. "They
could not agree, however, there were some inconsistencies across the
Atlantic," Henke has brought in experience, so was waiting with the
Tournament award relatively long.
During eight days Iserlohn will be the hub of roller hockey world, because the best U20 young players will be there: the 19-year-old Portuguese rh player Helder Nunes, the 17-year-old Frenchman Carlo Di Benedetto, or Italian Giulio Cocco apply (17) as a rising star, where a large international future is predicted.

After the 2013 A World Cup country change from Mozambique to Angola, due to financial problems, now it's the U-20 competition to have their own problems. We hope that all this incongruities don't deviate roller hockey countries and federations from the main Goal, a better future of Roller Hockey.
