Sports Minister Mirjam Sterk has vowed the cabinet will do everything possible to prevent it, citing concerns over Russia’s use of sports for political messaging — especially after the IOC allowed Russian athletes back into competition starting at the 2028 Games. With the Netherlands hosting its first Olympics since 1928, officials are weighing visa restrictions and broader diplomatic pressure, aligning with nine EU nations led by Estonia who want the EU to cut funding to sports bodies that readmit Russia. Even within parliament, lawmakers like Hanneke van der Werf support the stance, arguing sports can’t be divorced from geopolitics when governments weaponize them.
