The Czech men's and women's hockey teams may miss the 2027 Winter Universiade over the admission of Russian athletes. The Czech Hockey Federation objected to the teams' participation, although the Czech University Sports Association (ČAUS) initially did not oppose the trip to the competition.
Last week, ČAUS announced that the federation does not recommend that the teams travel to the tournament. In addition, it may bar clubs from releasing hockey players to the national teams.
Dates and Venue
The 2027 Winter Universiade will be held from January 15 to 25 in the Chinese cities of Changchun and Jilin.
Context
It was previously reported that Russian volleyball players were admitted to European competitions under their flag and anthem. The decision applies to both indoor and beach volleyball.
