Direct answer
- The 2019 IIHF World Championship Division I Group A (Division IA) event took place in Kazakhstan from April 29 to May 5, 2019. Poland, Japan, Estonia, Ukraine, Romania, and the Netherlands competed, with Kazakhstan as host. For the latest news specific to that division in 2019 (and any subsequent reorganizations or promotions/relegations in the following years), you would typically look at IIHF archival pages or dedicated hockey history resources.
