We present the first measurement of polarization and CP-violating asymmetries in a B_s⁰ decay into two light vector mesons, B_s⁰→ΦΦ, and an improved determination of its branching ratio using 295 decays reconstructed in a data sample corresponding to 2.9 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The fraction of longitudinal polarization is determined to be f_L=0.348±0.041(stat)±0.021(syst), and the branching ratio B(B_s⁰→ΦΦ)=[2.32±0.18(stat)±0.82(syst)]×10⁻⁵. Asymmetries of decay angle distributions sensitive to CP violation are measured to be A_u=-0.007±0.064(stat)±0.018(syst) and A_v=-0.120±0.064(stat)±0.016(syst).
