Wimbledon 2023: Upon the lifting of the embargo on Russians and Belarusians, support for Ukraine was stated

Posted : 25 April 2023

Wimbledon has made the "difficult decision" to ease its ban on Russian and Belarusian players, and as a result, will give more than £500,000 to aid efforts in Ukraine.

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and the All England Club (AELTC) will also pay for the players' lodging.

Last year, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Belarusians and Russians were prohibited from participating in sports.

The removal of the restriction, according to Chairman Ian Hewitt, did not decrease the AELTC's "total condemnation" of the invasion.

The WTA and ATP penalized Wimbledon and the LTA, the governing body of tennis in Britain, last year for their position with steep penalties and the loss of ranking points until this month overturning the ban.
