The 42nd Nordic World Ski Championships will be held by the International Ski Federation in Oberstdorf, Germany from February 24 to March 7.

The Swiss-based International Ski Federation, also known as Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS), is the world's governing body for winter sports.

Poland won two medals, gold and silver, when the championships were held in Seefeld, Austria, two years ago.
