The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Russia must be allowed into ice hockey world championships, overturning the IIHF’s exclusion of the country from the 2026–27 season. It cited insufficient evidence for the federation’s security concerns but did not decide whether Russia must compete as a neutral team. The ruling leaves next year’s tournament in Germany uncertain, with Ukraine also qualified.
