Because of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the FIH banned Russia from the Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup in April 2022, and banned Russian and Belarusian officials from FIH events.[2] In addition, the European Hockey Federation banned the participation of all Russian athletes and officials from all events sanctioned by the Federation.[3]
