    We've just heard the national anthems of both sides.
     
    After two years, the Veterans Inline Hockey World Championships is back in the Czech Republic. After Beroun, which hosted this tournament in 2011, now it's up to Prague and Eden stadium.

    For the opening game, we'll be watching a game between the Czech Republic B and France.

    The one, who should win this one are the French. With gold medals from 2012 and 2013, they are aspiring for defending their position once again.

    However, there is a question about what can we await to see by the weaker of two Czech teams. In this game, they won't have surely anything to lose and also, they'll have a support on the stands.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 10:00.
