The 73-year-old McAdam confirmed to MTI that Tuesday's friendly match against defending world champions Canada will be his last as captain, after which he will return home to Canada.
The tournament in Bolzano was one of the most difficult tournaments ever held in this section, and it is special that in the first match of the tournament, South Korea beat Slovenia, which was still in the elite last year. After that, the Asian team was relegated to Division 1/B, while Slovenia was the first to actually qualify for the fourth round. The Romanians, standing with 17 Hungarians from Transylvania, won two matches after two defeats and played for promotion on the final day, with the Italians only able to give up their place in the elite at the last minute thanks to a Hungarian victory.
The national team now has a great mix of routine players around the age of 30 or older, as well as those born in the 2000s. This is also confirmed by Janos Hari, who celebrated his 32nd birthday during the tournament (on Friday) and proved to be the most successful of the World Cup in Bolzano with six points.
The next level will be whether the men can stay in the round of 16 next year. On Tuesday, at the MVM Dome, fans will be able to salute their favorites in the match against Canada, but at the same time, there was already a small celebration in Bolzano on Sunday. Each player who took to the stage thanked the hundreds of traveling fans for their support and that they almost created a home stadium in Bolzano.
They also shouted: “We're home, we'll be home in two days!”

Speaking to Sport TV, Vilmos Gallo, who criticized the national team captain after the defeat to Romania, apologized to Don McAdam. “I would like to take the opportunity here, in a live interview, to apologize to the coach. It is simply unbelievable how humble he is, even if I say so, he took it simply and encouraged the team and understood everything that happened. I am very sorry that it happened this way, but we discussed “The command.”
