World Archery Europe (WAE) has announced a decision taken by its Board of Directors to lift the existing restrictions on Russian Federation athletes, teams and officials from archery at WAE-sanctioned events as of January 1, 2027. "This return does not violate any relevant laws, host country requirements, visa restrictions or public authority directives. WAE will continue to assess the situation in which events are hosted in Europe and comply with all applicable national regulations,” the WAE said.
