According to the latest IIHF Women’s World Ranking (April 2024), Japan holds 7th place, China is ranked 12th, Korea 18th, and Kazakhstan 22nd. The IIHF ranking is calculated based on results from the Olympic Games, IIHF World Championships, and Olympic Qualification Tournaments over the past four years.
The last international women’s ice hockey tournament held in Kazakhstan took place in November 2016, when the national team won the second round of the Olympic Qualification in Astana. This year, after a nine-year break, the Kazakhstan women’s national team will once again compete on home ice — in the historic heart of Kazakh hockey, Oskemen.
