Comments from British journalist Paul Brown from GiveMeSport “RB Sports” He shared his opinion on the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) board of directors to admit the Russian U-17 national team to international tournaments.
“Many people did not understand this proposal of UEFA. How does the Russian youth team differ from the main team? I cannot imagine any Russian team in an international tournament right now. Everyone knows what needs to happen for the situation to change with the admission of Russian teams,” the journalist said.
Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Ukraine, England, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway announced that they were boycotting the matches played with the Russian national team.
On September 26, the UEFA Executive Committee allowed Russian national teams consisting of junior players (under 17) to participate in international tournaments. Men’s and women’s teams are expected to play their matches without flags and anthems. They will not take place on the territory of Russia.
In the spring of 2022, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team, as well as all Russian clubs, in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
