Orienteering World Championships 1966
The first orienteering world championships were held on October 1 and 2. October 1966 in Finnish Fiskars (finn. Fiskari) in Uusimaa instead.
The title fights were awarded to Finland at the 2nd IOF Congress in Leipzig in 1963 . Originally, they were to be held as the third European championships after 1962 in Norway and 1964 in Switzerland. At the 3rd IOF Congress in 1965 in Kamschia , Bulgaria , it was decided to hold world instead of European championships with immediate effect in order to promote the development of orienteering.
