However, their celebration is overshadowed by controversy surrounding a jersey sponsor.
Reports indicate that the Latvian National Team could face repercussions for featuring a gambling sponsor on their jersey sleeves, potentially violating Finnish regulations. The Finnish Lotteries Act prohibits foreign gambling organizations from promoting their services in Finland.
IIHF Secretary General, Matti Nurminen, addressed the issue, urging patience and allowing the authorities to handle the situation. Drawing from his experience, Nurminen explained that fixed advertisements, like sideboard advertisements, were prohibited, but game uniform advertisements, determined by each country and movable, were deemed acceptable. His statement emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation and legal assessment to address the complaint appropriately.
