The English Football Association has refused to play with Russian youth teams, despite the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decision on their return this season. About it reported The Times.
“Our position remains unchanged,” the association said, opposing Russia’s return to UEFA competitions.
All Russian teams were suspended from participation in European competitions after the start of a special operation in Ukraine. 26 September UEFA executive committee accepted decision on the partial reintegration of Russian football, stating that “children should not be punished for actions for which responsibility lies solely with adults.”
The union now faces the challenge of finding a way to reinstate Russian men’s and women’s youth teams in European competitions, even if the draw has already taken place.
