In light of the launching of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Handball Federation in February 2022 suspended Belarus both in competitions for national teams and on the club level.[1] The International Handball Federation banned Belarus athletes and officials.[2] Referees, officials, and commission members from Belarus will not be called upon for future activities.[3]
