Пoрa УEФA пiти з ФIФA

Fifa has indicated it will review its position after imposing a ban on Russian teams in the wake of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago. It said on Tuesday that it would “analyse the decision before deciding on next steps”, and Uefa’s stance sets up another potential clash with the world governing body.


Uefa has yet to comment but sources at several national associations have said there is no realistic prospect of Russian sides being welcomed back into European football, and by extension the World Cup, because, although that is a Fifa tournament, European qualifying is run by Uefa. Many of the biggest western European associations and federations, including in England, Germany and France, remain vehemently opposed to Russia’s return.
