Statement of ŠKODA AUTO on the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship

“At ŠKODA AUTO, we’re huge fans of ice hockey. As such, we’ve proudly partnered with the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship for 28 years. That said, we also respect, protect and promote all regulations in force to protect human rights as a fundamental and general requirement throughout the world. Therefore, ŠKODA AUTO will withdraw from sponsoring the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship if Belarus is confirmed to be co-hosting the event.”
