Former head coach of St. Petersburg Zenit Vlastimil Petrzhela responded to the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to cancel the admission of Russian youth teams to international tournaments. His words are quoted “RB Sports”.
“UEFA’s decision is not surprising, everything was heading towards it. It is clear that Russian teams will not be in Europe until the CBO is finished, that’s for sure. Until the situation changes, Russian teams of all ages will not return to international competitions,” said the Czech.
On 26 September, the UEFA Executive Committee proposed allowing Russian youth teams to participate in tournaments with neutral status. Following this, some countries, including England and Ukraine, announced that they intended to boycott the matches played with Russian teams.
On October 10, UEFA announced that the decision on the admission of Russian youth teams from under-17 players to international competitions was canceled and this issue was removed from the agenda of the board meeting.
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.
