Germany may withdraw from hosting the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship due to the return of the Russian national team to international competition, announced Frank Lutz, head of the German Ice Hockey Federation. Officially, however, he cited "financial risks," claiming that organizers would face higher costs for the championship, especially for security. We will also discuss whether the Russian team will receive visas. "I don't have any information on that yet," Lutz added. Earlier, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ordered the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to allow Russian teams to compete internationally. The IIHF said it disagreed with the ruling but would comply later.
