FIFA and UEFA banned Russian teams from European tournaments last February following the invasion of Ukraine, and there is no sign of a return as the war continues.
Russia remains out of European tournaments
Russia was supposed to host the European Super Cup final between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League in 2023, but the match is planned to be moved to another country, writes Sky News.
On the eve of the meeting of the UEFA executive committee, the leadership of the Russian Football Federation announced negotiations with officials of the European forum with the aim of returning clubs and the national team to international tournaments.
Despite the fact that UEFA has declared its readiness to hold consultations on the general situation in Russian football, given the end of the war, there are no immediate prospects for the return of Russian teams to European competitions.
Russia missed the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and has every chance not to participate in the preliminary round of Euro-2024.
The decisions of FIFA and UEFA were upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport following appeals by the Football Federation and Russian clubs.
