The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision involving to the World Anti-Doping Agency and Russia's participation determined on 17 December 2020 that those athletes not implicated in doping or covering up positive tests may still be allowed to compete, but not under the Russian Federation flag.[4] The Russian women's team, who secured a Paralympic Games position through first place in the women's category of the 2018 World Championships, may compete as a 'neutral team' (EUN).

Notes

  1. ^ a b Regulation 47 of the IBSA Goalball Rules and Regulations 2018–2020 requires in part, 'Tournaments must have a minimum of four participating countries to qualify as a Regional Championship tournament'. Regulations 42 and 54 to vary the regulations was not exercised outside of the minimum sixty day publication period. The IBSA Africa regional championship was therefore a regional tournament only. The same situation existed for the 2016 Summer Paralympic Games where the International Paralympic Committee promoted Algeria for male and female teams regardless of the rules.
  2. ^ Whilst the Russian women's team has qualified, it may be required to be classified as a 'neutral team' (EUN).
