The UEFA executive committee revoked the permission to participate in European competitions for Russian U-17 teams.
The "Associated Press" (AP) writes about it.
The ban was imposed at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. When it was canceled on September 26, it caused a split in UEFAʼs executive committee.
At the same time, 12 of the 55 European member federations refused to play with any Russian teams. Among them are Poland, England, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway.
After a new meeting, the UEFA executive committee stated that the ban was renewed because "it was not possible to find a technical solution that would allow Russian teams to play."
- UEFA and world football governing body FIFA decided in February 2022 that all Russian teams — both national teams and clubs — will be banned from international competitions. Russiaʼs bid to host the European Football Championships in 2028 and 2032 was also deemed unacceptable.
