The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2021 are scheduled between 8 and 21 February 2021 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[1] In May 2020, the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) and the event organizing committee asked the International Ski Federation (FIS) to postpone the event until 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] However, the request was rejected by FIS, and the organizers then moved forward with plans for 2021.[3]
The host city was selected at the FIS Congress in Cancún, Mexico, on 10 June 2016. Cortina d'Ampezzo was the only applicant, and had been a finalist for the previous two championships.
