Incompatible with values. Škoda Auto will reassess support for the Ice Hockey World Championship due to Russians.

Škoda Auto is reconsidering its sponsorship of the Ice Hockey World Championship if the Russian team participates, opposing the CAS decision allowing their return. The company emphasizes its values against Russian aggression and is in contact with partners for a constructive solution. Other sponsors, like Tipsport and Prazdroj, have also expressed strong opposition to Russia's involvement. The IIHF, which banned Russia after the Ukraine invasion, will respect the CAS ruling but disagrees with it. The next championship is set for May 2027 in Germany.
