Ice Hockey Bans for Russia and Belarus
The International Ice Hockey Federation announced the extension of the ban on Russia and Belarus and their exclusion from most international ice hockey tournaments for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, citing safety, security, and integrity concerns. The Russian team will be barred from participating in the men's, junior, and under-18 World Championships, in addition to Belarus being removed from the junior World Championship. However, there are plans to reintegrate Belarus into lower-tier tournaments. Russia's participation in the 2027 Women's World Championship will be reviewed in November 2026, with an assessment of the conditions and risks at that time. This decision reflects ongoing international concerns about the impact of political and security issues on the integrity of sports.
