The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ordered the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to allow Russian teams to participate in international competitions, Sports Minister Mikhail Dagetyarev said. CAS recognized the demands of the Russian Hockey Federation as justified and annulled all five IIHF decisions that prevented the Russian Federation from participating in international tournaments. "The CAS decision puts an end to this issue, as it is final and cannot be appealed. We have a hard job ahead of us, together with the International Hockey Federation, to implement the CAS decision and return Russian teams to participate in IIHF-sponsored competitions." - wrote Dagetyarev. According to him, the closest such competition will be the World Junior Championships in Canada. We will remind you that Russian hockey players were suspended from international competitions after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. Since then, the team has missed five world championships. The IIHF recently extended the ban to July 2026, citing safety concerns. "Novaya"* talked about the gradual return of Russian hockey to the international arena. In May, the IIHF's Independent Disciplinary Board already overturned the decision to exclude Russian and Belarusian teams from the 2026/27 season, but then the federation was about to decide their participation separately for each tournament. * The Russian authorities consider him a "foreign agent".
