In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Hockey Federation banned Russia from the 2022 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, and banned Russian 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]
