IIHF says it will determine Russia’s eligibility on a tournament-by-tournament basis next season
The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) will assess Russia's eligibility to participate in tournaments on a case-by-case basis for the 2026-27 season. This decision follows Russia's ban from IIHF events since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Meanwhile, Belarus has been reintegrated into certain youth and women's events after a period of exclusion due to its support for Russia.
