Czech automaker Skoda has indicated it may reconsider its sponsorship of the Ice Hockey World Championship if Russia is permitted to compete in the tournament.
The potential withdrawal comes amid ongoing debates over the participation of Russian teams in international sporting events. Skoda, a long-time supporter of the championship, has not specified a timeline for a decision but signaled that Russia's inclusion would prompt a review of its partnership.
The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has not yet announced a final ruling on Russia's eligibility for the upcoming world championship.
