The 2016 IIHF World Championship Division III was an international ice hockey tournament run by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was contested in Istanbul, Turkey, from 31 March to 6 April 2016.[1] The host team, Turkey, won all of its games and was promoted to Division II B for 2017.
The United Arab Emirates withdrew shortly before the tournament, leaving six teams to play.[2] Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded their first victory in an IIHF tournament, defeating Hong Kong 5–4.[3] Georgia's results were later recorded as 5–0 forfeits due to the use of ineligible players.[4]
