Germany permits the refusal to host the 2027 World Hockey Championship due to the return of the Russian national team - the head of the German Hockey Association.
After the CAS decision, "we have to consider the possibility of getting this championship back," said Frank Lutz. According to him, the participation of the Russians will greatly increase the security costs, and depends a lot on the government and whether the players get visas. In Berlin, the CAS decision was viewed "very critically".
