The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), based in Lausanne, Switzerland, has ordered the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to immediately allow the Russian Ice Hockey Federation to enter national teams in world championships. The ruling applies to both men's and women's teams. STVR (Spravy) ↗
The order is to take effect already for five tournaments scheduled for 2027. These include the men's World Championship in Germany, the women's world championship and the junior tournament in Canada. Russian national teams have thus gained the opportunity to apply for participation in these events. teraz.sk ↗
The IIHF stated that it is disappointed by the CAS decision and disagrees with this part of the ruling. At the same time, the federation described the decision as unavoidable within the framework of applicable rules and legal process. sport.sk ↗
In 2025 and 2026, CAS dealt with several applications from Russian sports bodies and athletes related to participation in international competitions. The current ruling represents a significant shift in the matter of Russian hockey's return under the IIHF organization.
The decision has also provoked critical reactions. A former coach of the Czech national team stated that, in his view, Russian teams have no place on the sporting field. The further course of action will be determined by the entry of Russian teams and preparations for participation in the 2027 tournaments. sport.sk ↗
