Lions former master coach Jukka Jalonen succeeded in a trick that still seemed unlikely in the morning.

Italy rose to the main level of the men’s World Cup in hockey for 2026.

The victory was confirmed by the victory of the 1A Division host from Romania. Italy grabbed a three -point pot of 7-1.

Italy’s chances of climb improved dramatically as Ukraine, who was on the rise, suffered a surprise loss to Japan at noon. Japan, who played unmistakko, won 3-2.

This meant that Italy had the opportunity to get past Ukraine to the top two. The top two of the division will reach the main level for 2026.

British with strong

The other ascendant is still unresolved. Poland and the United Kingdom meet in the match starting at 7:30 p.m. Britain is on the rise before the game, but if Poland wins a three -point win, then the best of Britain, Ukraine and Poland’s comparison of the balances will take another rise.

If the British receives a point from Poland, the ascenders are Italy and the United Kingdom.

Italy last played at the main level of the World Cup in 2022. Next year, the country will host the Olympic Games, where it will be in Group A with Canada, Sweden and Switzerland.
