Former CSKA Moscow coach Gennady Kostylev criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) after they canceled the decision to admit the Russian U17 national team to international competitions. His words guide the way “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“The world has now turned upside down. Everything was bought from UEFA, an organization founded under the European and American rabble. See, what is the IOC? Everything was bought there too. We must stop playing their games. How can there be honesty here? What is UEFA? “This is a gang of bandits,” said the expert.
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. The national team played only friendly matches. In October, the Russians will face Cameroon and Kenya.

On 8 October, The Independent reported that UEFA may reconsider this decision, and on the 10th it was officially announced that the decision had been reversed.
