In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned Russian athletes and officials from tournaments. It also cancelled all BWF-sanctioned events in Russia, and banned all Russian national flags and symbols from being displayed at any BWF-sanctioned event.[2]

On August 29, 2023, BWF announced that Russian athletes will be allowed to compete as neutrals starting February 26, 2024.
