CAS Rules Russia to Rejoin Ice Hockey World Championships

• The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Russia must be allowed to participate in IIHF events.
• The IIHF had previously banned Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.
• The ruling allows Russia to participate in the men’s and women’s world championships.
• The decision was made on Friday and cited a lack of sufficient evidence to maintain the ban.
• The ruling overturns previous decisions that excluded Russia from events in the 2026-27 season.
