The Russian national team was included in the schedule of the 2027 World Youth Hockey Championship. It will take the place of Norway, which will be relegated to Group A of the first league.
According to the new schedule, Russia will play Switzerland on December 27. However, the Swiss announced that they would not participate in this match.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ordered Russia to return to the international arena.
Several European associations have already announced that their national teams will not participate in the World Cup if Russia plays in it. And Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the country would not issue visas to Russian athletes to participate in the World Youth Championships.
