Championships 2023: Wimbledon Eliminates its Ban on Russian and Belarusian Athletes

Posted : 12 April 2023
Following the lifting of the ban by the All England Club from last year, players from Russia and Belarus will be permitted to compete at Wimbledon this year.

"We continue to condemn totally Russia's illegal invasion and our wholehearted support remains with the people of Ukraine," said AELTC chairman Ian Hewitt.

"This was an incredibly difficult decision, not taken lightly or without a great deal of consideration for those who will be impacted."
This year, the players will be allowed to participate subject to participating as “neutral athletes” and fulfilling specific requirements.

They were outlawed in retaliation for Belarus' support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On July 3 at the All-England Club, Wimbledon will begin this year (AELTC).

The ruling also applies to other British competitions conducted prior to Wimbledon, most notably the Queen's and Eastbourne tournaments.
