Poland has confirmed it will not allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in the European Diving Championships scheduled for 2027. The head of the Polish swimming federation, Otelia Jendzejczak, stated the ban will stand unless the military situation changes, directly contradicting a ruling by the international federation. The decision reflects Poland's continued hardline stance against Russia and its ally Belarus following the invasion of Ukraine. The championship is set to be held in Poland.
