The Bandy Association of Indians governs bandy in India. Its headquarters are in Aurangabad.[1] Bandy, a team winter sport played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to direct a ball into the opposing team's goal, is generally played in northern India, where there is snow and ice. India is one of seven countries in Asia and out of a total of 27 to be a member of Federation of International Bandy. The national federation planned to send a team to the 2011 Asian Winter Games in Astana-Almaty, but ultimately did not. In July 2023, there was an Indian visit to Moscow and Krasnogorsk,[2] including the national junior team practicing[3] and playing matches[4] on an ice hockey rink with large goal cages (the Czech invention "short bandy"[5]).
